Why this does not work?

Because that's not a constructor. Constructors can't have a return type. Remove the void and it will work. You also need to make one of the classes public.

package sandbox;

public class not_public {

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println("Hello World!");

not_a_public nap = new not_a_public();

}

}

class not_a_public {

not_a_public() {

System.out.println("Not a public!!!");

}

}
