The main method is called by the jvm when your program is executed.

No other static method could replace it's functionality. PS By static method do you mean static initialiser? I often use static initialisers instead of a main method, but in these cases you must still have a main method, albeit an empty one ie. public static void main(String[] args) {} Notice that the method has an empty body A main method must be used if you intend to accept parameters at run time from the jvm.
