Static block is not executing in JDK 7, “Main method not found”, but works in JDK 1.5

Question

I have written a simple class with one static block

class Hello
{

  static {
           System.out.println(\"Hello\");
       System.exit(0);
     }
}
         


        

Answer 1

You cannot execute a java program without main method unless otherwise it is an applet or something else. I say your observation on jdks might be wrong
