They are public because they must be accessible to the JVM to begin execution of the program. Main is the first method that would get executed in any class.
They are static because they must be available for execution without an object instance. you may know that you need an object instance to invoke any method. So you cannot begin execution of a class without its object if the main method was not static.
Or
Main is starting point of the program execution Main method is called by JVM there is no need for JVM to
create an object of the class just to access Main function
Java's main function denotes the entry point into the execution of your program.
The two are different, and independent from one another. A variable can be public, static, both public and static, or neither.
public static void main
You can not overwrite a static method in Java,and 'main' is a static method.so,you can't overwrite the 'main'.
-Public to all - Static to access with Class Name - Final to change( constant and not alowed to change) Just use it along with class name. (As implied above, a 'public static final' variable in Java is what other languages would call a Constant. )

The main function is public because it means it needs to be called by any object. I had to check this myself but if you try to make the main function in Java private it will give you a run time error. It is static because it is indicating it is a class method and it does not need to be instantiated. Without the static keyword you would need to do something like this Main main = new Main();

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.
The main function. Every program must have a main function and it must be declared static.
class Demo { public static void main(String s[]) { System.out.println("hello java frm Demo"); } } class Demo1 { public static void main(String s[]) { System.out.println("hello java frm Demo1"); String z={" "}; Demo.main(); } }
Static membors partispating in Overwriting in java?
public class Hello { public static void main (String args[]) { System.out.println("Hello World"); } }
public class Hello{public static void main(String [] args){System.out.println("Hello");}}
