Yes it is possible. While starting the application we mention the class name to be run. The JVM will look for the Main method only in the class whose name you have mentioned. Hence there is not conflict amongst the multiple classes having main method.

How can one prove that the array is not null but empty using one line of code?
How can one prove that the array is not null but empty using one line of code? Print args.length. It will print 0. That means it is empty. But if it would have been null then it would have thrown a NullPointerException on attempting to print args.length. 2013-05-07, 2282👍, 0💬
