Multiple main() methods in java

Question

I was wondering what the effect of creating extra main methods would do to your code.

For example,

public class TestClass {
    public static void ma         


        

Answer 1

After searching for a Java Class with multiple main() methods or in plain words, overloaded main() methods, I came up with an example of my own. Please have a look

public class MultipleMain{

  public static void main(String args[]){
      main(1);
      main('c');
      main("MyString");
  }

  public static void main(int i){
     System.out.println("Inside Overloaded main()");
  }

  public static void main(char i){
     System.out.println("Inside Overloaded main()");
  }
  public static void main(String str){
     System.out.println("Inside Overloaded main()");
  }

}

I tested this Java Code on JDK 1.7 and works like a charm !

You need "public static void main(String args[])" to start with and then you can call overloaded main methods inside this main and it should work for sure.

Any comments and suggestion are highly appreciated. I am just a novice Java Developer willing to develop my Java skills.
