But, not matter what, you must put all of that in a class. Hence the charge: Java is Object Oriented Only.

Same in Perl. If one is not specified explicitely, main is used.

You can't just write a driver

You can't have driver code in C either, but that doesn't stop you from coding procedurally in C. That Java can't have drive code does not preclude programmers from writting procedural Java programs.

Perhaps these differences seem small, but they are real.

I didn't say there weren't differences. (Quite the opposite.) I said programmers code procedurally in Java, so it's not only OO.
