difference between types of main method

[Vilas Lawande]

What is difference between following types of main method ?
1. public static void main(String... args)
2. public static void main(String[] args)


Anyone please elaborate meaning of ... in first method.

[Parashuram Hallur]

Its a var argument, which is new from Java 5

[Seetharaman Venkatasamy]

whatever you are doing with [] ,also you can do with ... , but not vice versa

[Jesper de Jong]

The first one uses the varargs syntax. Note that they are not really different main() methods, just the syntax looks different. You couldn't make two main() methods with both signatures:

public class Example {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // code here
  }

  public static void main(String... args) {
    // code here
  }
}

This does not compile, because the two methods have the same signature (i.e., you do not have two overloaded main() methods).
