Ok, Thanks Tom and ithelp. Now i got good idea about java source file. Description also good.
Now please give some good idea about bytecode. Or What is the Bytecode?

[tom3965]

Hey,
Each java program is converted into one or more class files.The content of the class file is a set of instructions called bytecode to be executed by JVM. JVM is an interpreter for bytecode. Java introduces bytecode to create platform independent program.

Why does the main method need a static identifier?
And Will the program compile, if the main method doesnt have static identifier?

http://java.sun.com and look up the tutorials. Everything should become clear to you, or at least clearer than it is now.

no it isn't. This entire thread was created by some idiots trying to increase their postcount by flooding the forums with nonsense.
