If you have not already downloaded and installed the Pi4J library on the RaspberryPi, then view this page for instructions on where to download and how to install Pi4J:
Download & Install Pi4J
First, locate the ControlGpioExample.java source file in the samples folder of the Pi4J installation on the RaspberryPi.
You can use the following command on the Pi's console or SSH terminal to navigate to this path:
cd /opt/pi4j/examples
Next, use the following command to compile this example program:
javac -classpath .:classes:/opt/pi4j/lib/'*' -d . ControlGpioExample.java
