How about the following?  The class 't' does not have a static main(), but
before the JVM can find that out, it must load the class.  When a class is
loaded, it's static initializers are executed... bingo!

// begin t.java
import java.awt.*;
class t {
   static {
      Frame f = new Frame();
      f.add(new Label("Hello, World!"));
      f.pack();
      f.show();
   }
}
// end t.java
