How do I invoke a main() method of one class in another class?

How do I invoke a main() method of one class in another class? I have two classes SaveData and DynamicTest. Both of the classes contain a main() method. I would like to want to run my main in DynamicTest class. How do I properly call SaveData?

public class SaveData {

    private static final Map<String, Object> myCachedTreeMap = new TreeMap<String, Object>();


    public static final List<String> getLines(final String resourceParam, final Charset charset) throws IOException{
        System.out.println("Please get: "+resourceParam);
        if (myCachedTreeMap.containsKey(resourceParam) ) {
            // Use the cached file, to prevent an additional read.
            System.out.println("Found in memory : "+resourceParam);

        }   
        else {
            // Load the file from disk
            System.out.println("Not Found in memory : "+resourceParam);
        }

        return null;


    }


    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        String target_dir = "C:\\myfiles\\config\\en";
        String output = "C:\\myfiles\\config\\en\\output.txt";
        File dir = new File(target_dir);
        File[] files = dir.listFiles();

        if (files == null || files.length < 1) {
            System.out.println("File list is empty...");
            return;
        }

        // open the Printwriter
        PrintWriter outputStream = new PrintWriter(output);

        try {

            for (File textFile : files) {
                if (textFile.isFile() && textFile.getName().endsWith(".txt")) {
                    readFromDisk(textFile);                 
                }
            }
        }
        finally {
            outputStream.close();
        }
        String fileNameFromCache = "en_synonyms.txt";

            // Save contents

You call it like any other static method call :

SaveData.main (args); // it's up to you whether to pass the same args or
                      // different args

In the main method of DynamicTest write this SaveData.main(args);

Static method call :

Class.method();

Non static method call :

Class object = new Class();
object.method();
