compile -- permission denied

Hi all,
I was trying to compile my java files and got the message below. I
didn't understand the message, "Permission denied", but I just tried
again as a root. Then, I was able to compile.

I'd like to understand why this happens.
I am using Java 1.5 and Fedora core 4.

[jonghook@localhost Research]$ javac Main.java
Main.java:18: error while writing Main: Main.class (Permission denied)
public class Main {
^
1 error
[jonghook@localhost Research]$ sudo javac Main.java
Password:
[jonghook@localhost Research]$
----------------------------------------------------
