Synchronize the main method

[sanjay]

Can we sychronize the main method?

[webmaster]

What is the use of making the main method synzhronized. main is the entry point for the application and I think only one thread will be accessing this method

Yeah. We don't need to synchronize the main method. But even if you add the synchronized modifier to the main method it would work.

[java]
public class Main {
public synchronized static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println("main method...");
}

}
[/java]
