Shortly, you can not.
Different approaches are however available.
1. Put your non static method in different class. Then call it from your static content by first instantiating the class.
2. Make a duplicate static method for your non static method and use from your static content.
Static java method is the same as a static variable. They belong to a class and not an object of that class. If a method needs to be in a class, but not tied to an object, then one uses static java.
You can not overwrite a static method in Java,and 'main' is a static method.so,you can't overwrite the 'main'.
Because, the main method is the starting point of the java program and if we need an object of that class even before the main can be invoked, it is not possible. Hence it is declared static so that the JVM Can acess the main method without having to instantiate that particular class
Yes you can overload the static method. But it should be avoided because memory to static methods are allocated at the time of class load.....so memory will be wasted if we don't use that methods. Whereas non-static method memory allocation depends on Object
if some method is static, then you can not call that method through the oobject of that class. but the name of the class. let us see a example: class Test { int a; int b; static void show() { System.out.println("we are in show"); } } class Main { public static void main(String args[]) { Test t=new Test(); t.show();\\thiss is an erroraneous code. because, the method "show()" is static. Test.show();\\this is correct } Arnas Sinha
Yes, it is possible to call a static method from a non-static method. However, it is not possible to call a non-static method from a static method without first having an instance to operate on.

It is uss to define class and method of pogrom's.
Static is a keyword,when u execute a method in class file loaded, execute the first this method..
in java a method is said to be static if 'static 'keyword is used before the method name . foe ex.- static void show(){ ........ } this method has the following property-- 1. it can invoke only a static method. 2. it can't be reffered using keyword 'this','super'. 3.static method can access only a STATIC MEMBER VARIABLE or STATIC CLASS VARIABLE . 4. there should not be static & non static version of a nethod in a class . 5.static method can be used before the creation of d object of dt class.

we cannot use the staic keyword inside the method... But we can use the final keyword inside the method....

A function is a piece of code that can be reused by calling its name while a method is a function that is associated with a class. In Java, functions are usually referred to as static methods.
A static method in java is also named a class method, because it does not need an instance (of his class) to be invoked. Static methods can't use instance variables (non static variables) or use the keywords 'this'. These methods receive all the information they need to complete his task from his parameters
