SpringBootTest.UseMainMethod.WHEN_AVAILABLE and ALWAYS are incompatible with package-private or parameter-less main method #48271

Description

@kzander91

Spring Boot: 3.4.12, 3.5.8, 4.0.0

Both @SpringBootTest(useMainMethod = ALWAYS) and @SpringBootTest(useMainMethod = WHEN_AVAILABLE) fail with the following exception, when the main method is package-private:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not access method or field: class org.springframework.util.ReflectionUtils cannot access a member of class com.example.demo.Demo12Application with package access

        at org.springframework.test.context.cache.DefaultCacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate.lambda$loadContext$0(DefaultCacheAwareContextLoaderDelegate.java:167)

And with the following exception, when the main method is public but does not have parameters:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Main method not found on 'com.example.demo.Demo12Application'
