Sorry. > jikes 1.21 has warnings for this kind of use. Which I should have read more carefully: 7. t.main(new String[0]); ^----^ *** Semantic Warning: Invoking the class method "main" via an instance is discouraged because the method invoked will be the one in the variable's declared type, not the instance's dynamic type. So it is precisely the other way around from what I said above. Cheers, Mark
