Main class constructor returns null

Hey, my main class constructor is returning null:

Code:

private MainClass main;
   
    public RacesUtilities(MainClass main){
        this.main = main;
    }

 

@timtower

MainClass: http://pastebin.com/3DM2L3Wm
RacesUtil class: http://pastebin.com/mS6AxTtt

 

@timtower I added this in onEnable:

Code:

new RacesUtilities(this);

EDIT: Didn't work

 

@timtower the reference to the main class. (The constructor)

 

@TheKiller53
Constructors don't return anything, though.

 

The reference to my main class, via a constructor, is null.
@AlvinB

 

@TheKiller53
Then show us where you call the constructor.

 

@AlvinB

 

@TheKiller53
You don't call the RacesUtilities constructor in either of those classes.

 

@AlvinB What do you mean?

 

@TheKiller53
To call the constructor, you do "new RaccesUtilities(..args..)", and I don't see you doing that anywhere in those classes.

 

@AlvinB

Constructors return the instance of the class that was created. They just can't have a declared return type, since it is already known.


@TheKiller53

You have to save the return of the constructor and use that value. I would recommend learning Java before trying to write plugins.

@AlvinB

 

As others said before, learning the basics of java will solve this problem. It is important to understand the functionality of object oriented programming languages.

 

@TheKiller53

I realize he said that, but I already said that he is wrong. Don't be a smart ass when you don't know what you're talking about.

 

@mythbusterma Okay so could you please be specific as to what I should do?

 

@TheKiller53

I don't see where you're using this object, so I couldn't tell you.

 

@mythbusterma The constructor is in the RacesUtil class and the reference to it (new RacesUtilities(this); ) is in the MainClass. I use the MainClass instance in the RacesUtil class

 

@TheKiller53

I don't see that in the class you posted, and why do you have a "config()" method?

 

@mythbusterma I uploaded the class code to paste bin before adding that code, however it is in the MainClass onEnable() method.
I was trying to add a config hence the config() method.

 

@TheKiller53

I don't see anything like that in the pastebin, you might want to check that.

Also, then you have a method called config() and a method getConfig(), which return two different things...

 

@TheKiller53
I think we're just going around in circles here, show us a new pastebin with your updated code.
