How netbeans starts you off...

Question

When I start a new project in NetBeans, it starts me off with the following code.
public class Main {
     /** Creates a new instance of Main */
     public Main()
      * @param args the command line arguments
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
}Why does it include this:
     /** Creates a new instance of Main */
     public Main()
     }It's not necessary is it?

Answer 1

Meh....I'm familiar on the academic end of it. I've spent the last 8 months doing highly structured mainframe programming (the farthest thing from OO programming).
I'm trying to do a project/favor for my boss to automate a task that takes up several days out of each year. It's actually a great project to start wrapping my head around OO programming.
Anyhow - yes I'm familiar with it. However, I still learning to think that way.
In any of the programs that I've ever written, it's main that calls everything else. I guess it makes sense if, at some point, something else needs to use Main or it's instance methods.
