Calling a static jar class method from command line

Question

I have a jar file : "CallMeMaybe.jar".

There is a static method callMe() in the main class callmemaybe.CallMeMaybe . Like it is possible to call the main() method from command line by running :

java -cp CallMeMaybe.jar callmemaybe.CallMeMaybe

Is there a way to directly call another static method than main() ?

I would like to do that :

java -cp CallMeMaybe.jar callmemaybe.CallMeMaybe.callMe()

You can't call it directly, but just call it from your main method i.e.

public class Foo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        doSomething(args);
    }

    private static void doSomething(String[] args) {
        // your code here
    }
}

Although I don't see the point of the extra method.
