Instead of *.org, *.java, say *.org *.java at the second prompt (no comma).

Note: to input in such completion prompt, type C-q SPC (that is, hold Ctrl and press q, then release Ctrl and hit Space).

At the second prompt when I input .org SPACE then show message "No match". So as result I can't input ".org SPACE *.java"

Ah, yes. To input a "bare" space in such completion prompt, type C-q SPC. I agree it's a misfeature, but there are users who like that SPC is bound to some command that initiates completion. You can argue against this using M-x report-emacs-bug.
