How can the main() function be overloaded in Java? Can you please explain me the disadvantages of doing so?

I saw this in one of the questions in Challenges

nitish kumar jha Overload main does run because it is called. Try running it. https://code.sololearn.com/cMJttGO8jL75

yes. The String[] version is the only entry point. Any other version has to be called.

This code overloads main. There aren't really any disadvantages. However, I can't think of any reason for doing it either. public class Program { public static void main() { System.out.println("overloaded"); } public static void main(String[] args) { main(); } }

John Wells in this situation we can just think the overloaded main method is just as another overloaded method which named as main()...
