I created a file called tblfile

And then added the below contents (i.e. comma separated table names).

table_one,table_ten,table_x,table_y,table_z

Works for me (linux, FreeBSD)
Code:
awk -F, '
NR == 1         {for (n=split($0, T); n>0; n--) TBL[T[n]]=n
                 next
                }
$0 in TBL       {delete TBL[$0]
                }
END             {print "non-existing:"
                 for (t in TBL) print t
                }
' tblfile *.java
non-existing:
table_one
table_y
table_z
