Never do this.
main is a special method and you never call it or thread it.
Only solution: move your code in another method and call this method recursively.

if we change main method parameters then it becomes normal method so, can we make it thread?

Never do this, 'main' is a special method that launch hidden things.

Solution 2

In theory yes, but in practice no. main is a special method that is always required in a Java application, and must conform to the prototype layout:

Java

public static void main(String argv[])
