That isn't strictly true. The 'main()' method is only called for one class one time by 
the JVM when it starts, but nothing prevents code in the program from explicitly 
calling some class's 'main()' at some later time.

Read the Java tutorials. They explain constructors vs. methods and such 
concepts.
