This is a problem in itself.  You have to run 

$ java HelloWorld

without the '.class' at the end.  One of java's stupider attributes.

It could be that you are missing some classes.  Maybe you should
re-install the deb.

This should not be affecting anything.

Try it without the .class at the end and report back.
