Answer / kuldeep vishwakarma

We know very well that when we want to call any method without creating Class object in which that method is reside,this will
be perform by "static" keyword.And in java main()always call by JVM,So we can call main()without instance create with the help of jvm.Therefore we needed static with main();
INTERNALLY MAIN()CALL WITH THE HELP OF TRY-CATCH BLOCK

try{
ClassName.main();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
---------------
}
