Why was a new file called "PezDispenser.java" created if it wasn't going to be used?

I saw Craig used Example.java when he printed the output he wanted. Why was a new file called "PezDispenser.java" created if it wasn't going to be used? Why didn't Craig put all the code in Example.java?

Example.java is using the code from PezDispenser.java. The class is the blueprint used when we call new PezDispenser. Any other file can use if too.

That make sense?
