AFAIK, no. I received both emails from you.

[14:16:33][sylvestre at korcula] ~/dev/git/scilab.master/scilab$ cat
modules/helptools/src/java/org/scilab/modules/helptools/BuildDocObject.java |grep -n main
295:	public static void main(String[] arg) {

The method here is just a stand alone example when I want to test
directly the java feature without going into Scilab.

	public static void main(String[] arg) {
		try {
			BuildDocObject d = new BuildDocObject();
			d.setOutputDirectory("/tmp/");
			d.setExportFormat(JH_FORMAT);
			d.setDocbookPath("/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/");
			d.process(SCI+"/modules/helptools/master_en_US_help.xml",
					SCI+"/modules/helptools/css/javahelp.css");
		} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
			System.err.println("Exception catched: " + e.getMessage());
		}
	}
