[NTLUG:Discuss] Java Woes

[Stephen Davidson]

Greetings, Val.

1) You are correct.  And w/o a main, the class cannot be run from the command line.  Unfortunately, I am not completely up on the XML classes, so I can't tell 
you what the correct command is.

2) Not as far as I am aware or ever heard of, except for system limitations of evironment variables.

For more information, c/o http://www.javamug.org.  They have a general mailing list that will frequently answer these types of questions.
