F9 compiles the Java class currently open in the Editor
F11 builds the entire project

Without more detailed information no one can help you. Which NetBeans
version? Which type of project? How did you setup your project? Which
JDK are you using?

project and only then it will compile then pls tell me how to setup a
project for compiling simple java programs. i am using the latest jdk
that comes with netbeans . because i downloaded from java.sun.com only

You need a project. Without a project you cannot compile or build your
Java classes. Please read the help file and the tutorial on the NetBeans
web site.
