main method in super or abstract class

[java4amanda]

Hi all,


I wrote a simple code mentioned below and am not able to understand the way the output is generated.



abstract class Abc

{



public static void main(String[] args)

{


System.out.println("hii");

}


}

class Cont extends Abc

{


}



When i save the above program as Cont.java file and run it, it displays the output as hii. Can any one explain how did that happen? shouldn't there be runtime exception saying main method not found? Kindly help.

Thank you.
