What is meant by this error:

Error: Main method not found in class Static.A, please define the main method as: public static void main(String[] args) or a JavaFX application class must extend javafx.application.Application

I was trying to run a program Without main Method.. 

public class A
{
    static
    {
      System.out.println("Hello");
      System.exit(0);
     }
}

If you want to run your program either you should have the main method or if it is a JavaFX application then you have to have the start method. According to your class, you don't have neither of the conditions. So that is why you get the error

This means you don't have a main method in your class as the error says. Replace the static with public static void main(String[] args) and it works. Also it is not possible to run a program without a main method.

  • "it is not possible to run a program without main method" is not actually true. From the [`java` tool documentation](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/windows/java.html#BGBCIEFC): "The `java` command can be used to launch a JavaFX application by loading a class that **either** has a `main()` method **or** that extends `javafx.application.Application`."
