I think you can omit the "public"s in the Java hello world (thereby making everything package protected, and sneakily sidestep the issue), but I don't want to ruin this machine by installing Java on it to make sure.
To be super thorough, you would also have to understand:
- semicolons (and the related issue of newlines being semantically equivalent to normal spaces)
- naming conventions (to explain why it's not "System.Out.Println" and "Main")

You can in C#, but not in Java. You can make it an enum, I think, to shorten all that. But my Java golfing knowledge is a bit rusty by now, admittedly.
