Question

is possible to overload a main method? If yes from which method the jvm will start executing?

Answer 1

Yes. The main method can be overloaded just like any other method in Java.

The usual declaration for main is

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception;

When you launch a java application it looks for a static method with the name ‘main‘, return type ‘void' and a single argument of an array of Strings. ie what you throw is unimportant in resolving this method.

Overloading is providing multiple methods with the same name but different arguments (and potentially return type).

With the above explaination we can overload the main method.
