Name: krT82822 Date: 04/11/99 Even when the main method in the appliation's main class is non-public (i.e., declared without public keyword,) the Java VM accepts it and invokes it without any error/warning messages. This behaviour seems a violation against the section 12.1.4 of The Java Language Specification, which says "The method main must be declared public, static, and void." E.g., when Hello.java is class Hello { static void main ( String [] argv ) { System.out.println( "Hello, world" ); } } current java command (or jre command) executes it successfully, although it should report the fact that the main must be declared as public.
