How to print message on console without using main() method?

Answer 1

If you don't want to use static block too, it can be done following way

public class NoMain {

    private static final int STATUS = getStatus();

    private static int getStatus() {
        System.out.println("Hello World!!");
        System.exit(0);
        return 0;
    }

}

However, please note that this is for Java 6 version. Its not working in Java 7 which is said to be supported in Java 8. I tried with JDK 1.8.0_77-b03, which is still not working
