Why is the main method in the superclass executed by the JVM?

Question

When I execute:

 java B

for the next program, why is the main superclass A called? As I understand it, static methods belong to the class level.

class A
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        System.out.println("A.main");
    }
}

class B extends A{ }

Answer 1

Static methods are inherited by subclasses.
