The second question is, what type is test.main()? I want to be able to
put it into a Map.

Now that I think about it, I don't think that is possible.

import java.util.*;

public class TestApplication {
    public interface Application {
        void main(String... args) throws Exception;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Map<String, Application> map = new HashMap<>();
        map.put("self", TestApplication::main);
    }
}

That does not compute. Or is this some Java 8 new feature? I thought
methods are not "first class citizens" in Java...


Yes, that is part of the new Java 8 changes surrounding the Lambdas.
