The name of the starting class is given as a parameter to the Java runtime system when a program is started. The runtime system then will look for the main method in the specified class. You can have many main methods in a Java program. The one that gets called is the one you specify to the runtime system when the program is started. This is also where you specify the parameters to the String array in the main method.

It means main method can be overloaded. But the JVM will look for

public static void main(String[] args) or

public static void main(String... args)

if the same class contains the another main method such as

public static void main(int i) {

}

JVM will not invoke this method. You have to manually invoke in your program.
