Can a main() method of class be invoked from another class in java

Question

Can a main() method of class be invoked in another class in java?

e.g.

class class1{    public static void main(String []args){    }  }  class class2{    public static void main(String []args){       class1.main();   }  } 

Answer 1

If you want to call the main method of another class you can do it this way assuming I understand the question.

public class MyClass {      public static void main(String[] args) {          System.out.println("main() method of MyClass");         OtherClass obj = new OtherClass();     } }  class OtherClass {      public OtherClass() {          // Call the main() method of MyClass         String[] arguments = new String[] {"123"};         MyClass.main(arguments);     } }  

Answer 2

if I got your question correct...

main() method is defined in the class below...

public class ToBeCalledClass{     public static void main (String args[ ]) {       System.out.println("I am being called");    } } 

you want to call this main method in another class.

public class CallClass{      public void call(){        ToBeCalledClass.main(null);     } }
