There must be some expceptoins when it comes to main methods correct? Like there are certain circumstances where main methods aren't nessasary or needed. I would be very appriciateive if someone could lay them out for me.

your question is a little vague. And the answer would be enormous. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
Okay sorry haha..
Revamped question:
Can you have a class without a main method (that will compile, and work)?
Sure, you only need one class with a main method. The main method is the so called program entry point, that is where the program starts.Quote:

You need to have the standard main method in any class you try to start by using the java command:
java ThisClassMustHaveMainMethod
public static void main(String args[]) method is only needed to run the program , there is no need for compiling a class. in java an empty class is also valid and compile
