    <p>It's not entirely clear what you're really asking, but the <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se7/html/jvms-5.html#jvms-5.2">JVM specification section 5.2</a> covers at least some of this:</p> <blockquote> <p>The Java Virtual Machine starts up by creating an initial class, which is specified in an implementation-dependent manner, using the bootstrap class loader (§5.3.1). The Java Virtual Machine then links the initial class, initializes it, and invokes the public class method void main(String[]). The invocation of this method drives all further execution. Execution of the Java Virtual Machine instructions constituting the main method may cause linking (and consequently creation) of additional classes and interfaces, as well as invocation of additional methods.</p> <p>In an implementation of the Java Virtual Machine, the initial class could be provided as a command line argument. Alternatively, the implementation could provide an initial class that sets up a class loader which in turn loads an application. Other choices of the initial class are possible so long as they are consistent with the specification given in the previous paragraph.</p> </blockquote> <p>The <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-12.html#jls-12.1">JLS section 12.1</a> has some other descriptions too.</p> <p>The JVM invokes the <code>main</code> method directly - it doesn't need to create a new object to do so. Although the <code>main</code> method itself has to be public, the class it's declared in doesn't. For example:</p> <pre><code>public class Test { private static class EntryPoint { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hi"); } } } </code></pre> <p>Then execute with:</p> <pre><code>java 'Test$EntryPoint' </code></pre> <p>It prints "Hi" as expected.</p> <p>No code outside the <code>Test</code> class has access to <code>EntryPoint.main()</code> other than through privileged reflection - or direct access that the JVM is clearly capable of.</p>

    1. CO@ Jon. The question may seem odd, but is founded on hindsight with understanding of the keywords -something myself and most likely the majority of Java developers did not know of when they first learned about the main method.

    2. COi think the keywords dont have much value when its the JVM. Like you pointed out no other classes can access the private class Test $EntryPoint but the JVM does

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.
