Can I call main() from another class?

Can I call main() from another class? Simple answer is “YES”. Here is a simple example.

public class SimpleStarter {

   

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.out.println("Main of SimpleStarter class");

    }

  }

Now, we would like to call main() method of SimpleStarter class from another class. As main() is a static method, we can call main by using class name.

public class MainCallerClass {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.out.println("Main of MainCallerClass");

        SimpleStarter.main(args);

    }   

}

When we execute MainCallerClass, here is what we see as output :

Main of MainCallerClass

Main of SimpleStarter class
