Class Main

java.lang.Object

ch.aplu.jgamegrid.Main

public class Main
extends java.lang.Object

Main contains a public static void main() entry point and is able to create an instance of another class (by Java reflection), so that its default contructor is invoked. Mainly used to avoid the ugly public static void main() method in beginner's programs. The class name can be provided in three ways:
- as parameter of the main() method
- as an entry with key MainClass in a mainclass.properties file (located in the root of the application jar)
- all classes in the class path that uses the @NoMain annotation (if more than one class is found, a selection box is displayed).
If the application class defines the methods void run() or void main(), these methods are invoked by reflection after the class instance is created.
