Summary: Simplify Running ACM Java Programs

Initial Comment:
We should make it as simple as possible to run ACM Java Task Force programs. Other IDEs can run ACM Java Task Force programs that just look like this

//HelloWorldConsole.java 
import acm.program.*; 
 
public class HelloWorldConsole extends ConsoleProgram { 
 public void run( ) { 
  println("Hello World"); 
 } 
}

DrJava needs a main method:

//HelloWorldConsole.java 
import acm.program.*; 
 
public class HelloWorldConsole extends ConsoleProgram { 
  public void run( )  { 
      println("Hello World"); 
  }
   } 
   
   public static void main(String[ ] args)  
   { 
      new HelloWorldConsole( ).start(args); 
   } 
}
