Create a shell script to call `java Example' for you a la
#!/bin/sh
# Set up any defaults just in case
: ${JAVAVM:=java|kaffe|jikes}
: ${CLASSPATH:=/whatever/man}
: ${SWING_HOME:=/you/know/what/time/it/is}
export SWING_HOME CLASSPATH
${JAVAVM} Example
# fini
Or read the Linux-Java-HOWTO (or is Java-Linux-HOWTO) at the LDP
which explains how to configure the kernel so that it will automatically
execute a java class file.
Not recommended for everyday java software development and release
with all the changes in JDK/JFC/JMF and other
forthcoming java extensions unless you are planning to build an
embedded java based system where the contents of the system
are very well defined. And in any case you would have to set
up a precise environment to find all the extension
I theorise.

Your requirement seems strange but, have you tried;
ln Example.class Example
and then execute Example ? I don't know if this will address your problem
since you didn't tell us what you are trying to do.
Another solution may be to create a script that contains "java Example".

Just a work around if it helps.
