Remember that a Java main is just a static method, and can be called. 
You could write, include in your jar, and make the main class something 
like this:

=====WARNING===UNTESTED=CODE========
public class Wrapper {
   private static String[] actualArgs = {
     "arg1",
     "arg2",
   }
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      HelloWorld.main(actualArgs);
   }
}
