Hi,
Public methods are only accessible from outside of the class. main() method is the entry point of the java applications. so we should declare the main method as public.

main was not required to be public until Java 1.4.

jvm is outside the class . it can call public main() method.it is right.but what if class is in default access and public main is there.then also it is able to call it.
I just want to ask how JVM enters a non-public class?
