Add a main(), and just have main() call whatever methods you want to run. There's no other way.

There is in fact.
Instantiate the class from some other class that does have a main method with the correct signature and call the methods from that

But Jeroen...

how is using main from another class "not using main"?? You're still using it in class B, you're just not using it in class A. I don't think that counts as "(not) using main()".

I could be charged as an accessory for showing you this, but...

Note: The System.exit(0) statement allows the application to get out of Dodge before the Sheriff slaps it with a "NoSuchMethodError."

Boo! Hiss! That's pretty sneaky, man! I'll bet you've entered code obfuscation contests before. I like it, though. It shows a pretty good understanding of the Java language. I definitely learned something today!
