Make non static references to API

Hello,

I've been working on an API for a team project I'm working on, it's the first time I've worked on an API and currently I'm having problems with making non static references.

Let me explain with a bit of code:

Code:

    CWSU_ChunksMain CCM = new CWSU_ChunksMain();
    CCM.DefineChunk(chunk);    

As you can see I'm trying to use the CCM object to make it a non static reference, however this would require me to create a constructor for the class I'm working with within the API. Which is ofcourse not possible.

This code gives me a NoClassDefFoundError.

What could I do about this?

Greets,

If it's a static class, wouldn't you just be able to do "CWSU_ChunksMain.DefineChunk(chunk);"?
Could you explain more clearly? I don't quite understand why you need to instantiate the class.

 

Ah yes sorry, I'll provide some more clarification here.

Something like this for example:

Code:

    public void onEnable(){
    CWAPI_Main.defineLists();
}

Would give me the error that I cannot make a static reference to the non static method defineLists(); I'm not seeing what's static in the onEnable method though.

 

CWAPI_main.java, method defineLists() lacks the static modifier
