Main method not defined properly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The following main method is incorrect in java, because it misses the String[] 
parameter:

public class Main {

    public static void main(){
        System.out.println("Hello");
    }
}

this compilation will generate the error message:

sample.stab (20, 24) error 234: Cannot implicitly convert type
 '<null>' to 'boolean'
sample.stab (23, 28) error 234: Cannot implicitly convert type
 'java.lang.String' to 'boolean'
sample.stab (29, 32) error 234: Cannot implicitly convert type
 'java.lang.String' to 'boolean'
sample.stab (31, 24) error 234: Cannot implicitly convert type

Not an error!

However running the main method will generate the error message:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main

The same program compiled with javac has exactly the same behaviour.
