   CodeQL analysis for Java needs to compile the Java source code in order to analyze it. The "autobuilder" is a small program that tries to automatically figure out how to build the code base. It supports common build systems like gradle, maven and ant, and also picks up simple build scripts named build.sh or build.cmd (for windows).

   CodeQL does not know how to compile a single Java file. Simply calling javac SoureFile.java is unlikely to work very often in practice, because you'd normally need to add dependencies to the classpath using the -cp flag.

   In your case I'd recommend adding a simple build.sh file to your repo :

   #! /bin/bash
   
   javac TestClass.java

   Alternatively you can invoke codeql with an explicit build command like codeql database create java_db1 --language=java --source-root Java/ --command "javac TestClass.java"
