Solved Is my code too massive?

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.net.*;

class server{

    private Socket s = null;
    private ServerSocket ss = null;;
    private DataInputStream din = null;
    private DataOutputStream dout = null;
    static Vector<ClientHandler> array = new Vector<>();
    private HashMap<String, String> login = new HashMap<>();
    void main(String[] args) throws IOException
    {
        // initialize
        try {
//            BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("logindata.txt")); idk yet
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("logindata.txt"));
            StringTokenizer st = null;
            String templine = "";
            String loginName = "";
            String pass = "";

            while(((templine = br.readLine()) != null)){
                st = new StringTokenizer(templine, ": ");
                if(st.hasMoreTokens()){
                    loginName = st.nextToken();
                }
                if(st.hasMoreTokens()){
                    pass = st.nextToken();
                }

                login.put(loginName, pass);
                loginName = "";
                pass = "";
            }

        }
        catch(FileNotFoundException i){
            System.out.println("Failed to initialize login file");
        }


        String receivedName = "";
        String receivedPass = ""; // <TODO> encrypt passwords after finishing filework 
        int i = 0;
        ss = new ServerSocket(5001);
        boolean userExists = false;
        while(true)
        {
            s = ss.accept();
            din = new DataInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(s.getInputStream()));
            dout = new DataOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(s.getOutputStream()));

            receivedName = din.readUTF();

            for(Map.Entry<String, String> entry : login.entrySet()){
                if(entry.getValue().equals(receivedName)){
                    userExists = true;
                    break;
                }
            }

            if(userExists){
                dout.writeUTF("User found, enter your password: ");
                dout.flush();
            }
            else{
                dout.writeUTF("User was not found, u may register by making a password: "); // <TODO> make a check if password was written correctly
            }
//<TODO> handle passwords
            ClientHandler client = new ClientHandler(s, receivedName, din, dout);
            System.out.println("User " + receivedName + " Accepted");

            Thread t = new Thread(client);

            array.add(client);

            t.start();

            i++;
        }

    }
}

So I'm making a simple messenger as my first project, though now when I'm working on it it seems VERY massive to me, is it normal in other projects or am I supposed to break it into smaller parts?

Everybody is gonna have their own opinion on this, but at this stage i think it's fine.

If you keep expanding this thing, i'd recommend moving cunks of logical functionality into separate methods, and when you outgrow that, move them into separate classes/files.

Don't worry about it too much though, most programmers went through the same stage. All that matters now is that this is your learning project so it needs to make sense to you.

Things will look a bit different in professional or open source setting when multiple people will work on the same codebase, but let's not worry in advance.
