If you want to run files locally without adding the path to your command, an easy way is to store them in ~/bin.
Make sure they are executable.
Another way is to create a link in ~/bin to the file (ln -sf)
I think this is the most appropriate way for a "learning" file as you mention it.

This is good advice you can move you files from terminal like this sudo cp -R /home/joe/Learning/Java/FILENAMEHERE ~/bin – Mark Kirby Aug 24 '14 at 09:07

The sudo will not be needed to copy them locally, and the file needs to be on the first level. – Jacob Vlijm Aug 24 '14 at 09:09
