As mentioned in above post, the overload rules still work for the main method. However, the entry point is the famous psvm (public static void main(String[] args))

public class Locomotive {
    Locomotive() { main("hi");}

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.print("2 ");
    }

    public static void main(String args) {
        System.out.print("3 " + args);
    }
}
