IllegalAccessException running main

[john guthrie <jg...@psynapsetech.net>]

maybe not an ant problem, but here's my setup:
from build.xml ---
   <target name="exec" depends="compile">
     <java classname="Main">
       <classpath refid="run.classpath"/>
     </java>
   </target>

from Main.java ---
   static public void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
     ...
   }

from my attempt to run 'exec' target ---
  local> ant exec
  Buildfile: build.xml

  init:

  compile:
       [javac] Compiling 32 source and 0 arg files to /home/jguthrie/dest

  exec:
      [java] java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class 
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ExecuteJava can not access a member of 
class Main with modifiers "public static"

  BUILD SUCCESSFUL
  Total time: 25 seconds

how can i get an IllegalAccessException on a "public static"?

thanks.
john
p.s. more oddities when i try to search for "IllegalAccessException" in 
the archive (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ant-user). i seem to get 
kicked out of the search section of ant-users entirely.
