    <p>The main method is the most significant method in your Java application with regards to launching your application as the entry point. What happens prior to this method being used is unclear. Please can someone help me understand/clarify what happens before the method is used by correcting my perception thereof based on the method signature as follows:</p> <ul> <li><p>The JVM creates at least one Object that will access your main method. This (assumed) object attempts to access your Java application according to the API which obviously binds you to the known method signature <code>public static void main (String[] args){}</code></p> <ul> <li><p><code>public</code> You can't restrict the (assumed) solitary object on the JVM from accessing your Object housing the main method completely looking at logic alone and not the API/signature?</p></li> <li><p><code>static</code> There are simply no objects up and running to create any other instances of objects up yet (other than the assumed JVM one) to instantiate or create objects out of yet. The static modifier implies the only possibility of accessing this method as it is not bound to an instance and can be accessed therefore 2ithout an instance. Yet again this is logic as without any objects up and running (apart from the assumed JVM one), there can't be any objects up yet to instantiate any other objects with?</p></li> <li><p><code>args</code> A standard across languages and applications/executables to provide ability to customize the application?|</p></li> </ul></li> </ul> <p>Is this a correct and logical way to approach and understand the main method?</p>

    1. CO"The JVM creates at least one Object that will access your main method." - What leads you to that conclusion? (I believe it will always create a string array, but that's not an object "that will access your main method".)

    3. COFYI the main does not have to be the most significant. read up on pre_main can have some one for a few pre_mains that do all/ most of the work. I have used pre main to inject common System properties from a data base but they could do other work too, like instantiating user classes

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
