Printing message on Console without using main() method

by 
public class Foo {
    static {
         System.out.println("Message");
         System.exit(0);
    } 
}

The System.exit(0) exits program before the jvm starts to look for main()

(Note: This works only with java 6. Even if it compiles with JDK 7’s javac it cannot be run with its java, because it expects a main(String[]) method.)
