New candidate JEP: 445: Flexible Main Methods and Anonymous Main Classes (Preview)

[Eric Bresie]

If I’m missing something sorry up front but…

Wouldn’t the simplest for beginners be just a java file with the initial expression leaving off the main all together?

Say

(1)
System.out.println(“Hello World”);

(2) There exists the static initialization block alternatively

static {
System.out.println(“Hello World”);
}

(3) Or even some sort of annotation or meta data file as to where to start?

(4) Or some lambda derivative like

()-> System.out.println(“Hello World”);
