[ajug-members] Explain the Method Header in more detail

[Vincent Stoessel]

What's kind of ironic is that on a huge java web based project ( in terms of LOC ) that I'm working on there is not even 1 occurrence of the main method in our code. Gotta love frameworks.   Personally, I don't mind 101 questions. *shrugs*
