It is possible.we can easily invoke a main() of a class from another class.

I show  u demo here.

//Class Test

public class Test

{

public static void main(String args[]) //Main Method which is

//Invoked by another class Testing

{

System.out.println("Test Class main() Method is Called");

}

}

//Class Testing

public class Testing

{

public static void main(String args[])

{

if (args.length!=0)

{

Test.main(args);// Main method of Test Class is Calling

}

}

}

for hariharan

there could only one class as public in a program,

and main can't be called by other class(by any class)

b'coz the main method is called by JAVA RUN TIME ONLY

Yes. You can invoke.

Here is code:

class A
{
public static void main(String args[])

System.out.println("Hi friend");

}

class B
{
public static void main(String args[])

A.main(new String[10]);
System.out.println(" How are you");
}
}

Save it as B.java and execute you get 

Output : 
Hi friend
How are you

yes .. I'll show you how it is done.

class A
{
        public static void main(String []args)
            {
                System.out.println("This is Main() of Class A");
             }
}

Write another Class name B
class B
{
        public static void main(String []args)
            {
                String s="this is use less";//variable which is not useful in this program.
                  A.main(s);//invoking main() method of class A. since main() method is   static it can be invoked by using Class name as a reference.
                System.out.println("This is Main() of Class B");
             }
}

Now compile both classes ..
