Basic question related to the Thread.

Question

HI all,
I have simple question.This is the simple program for creating a Thread.
My question is, when we invoke the start() method hos does the JVM knows to invoke run method?
why not other method / s?
I am new to the Thread progamming. Please explain it.
Thanks,
Rahul.
public class HelloRunnable implements Runnable {
public void run() {
System.out.println("Hello from a thread!");
public static void main(String args[]) {
(new Thread(new HelloRunnable())).start();
}

why not other method / s?Because thats what was chosen as the logical method to call.
