It is not good Java to have a main() not be public static void main(). If
it works when you run sudo(8), then all the better for you, but you really
need your class to be `public` as well.

Rewrite your code to be:

public class hello
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}
