Question

I’m fairly new to java and looking for an interface that simply guarantees that a main(args) exists — e.g. suitable for running from the command line with “java classname arg1 … argN ” — without doing more.

More formally, I think that this would suffice:

public interface App {

public static void main(String[] args);

}

Is there such an interface in the standard libraries that are usually found in a JDK?

I couldn’t find a formal entry for “Application” or “App” in the Nutshell book nor does googling “java interface main” turn up anything useful.

Thanks in advance…

Answer 1

Interfaces can’t define static methods. There is no interface that defines a main method.
