[ajug-members] why? NoSuchMethodError: main

[Salman Khatri]

And if you really want to return an error code back to the shell, you 
can do so through java.lang.System.exit(n). If I am not mistaken, your 
method becomes:

public static void main(String[] args) {
	System.exit(new MakeConfigs.doMain(args));
}


Java always returns '0' on a normal, exception-less conclusion of your 
program. It seems to return '1' on an exception. Please note that when 
you run java without any parameters, it shows command line help and 
returns a '0'.
