The message<\/p>\n

error: non-static method MethodX()<\/i> cannot be referenced from a static context<\/p>\n

has a couple of causes I know:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The class that contains the static main<\/span> method contains another method other_method<\/em> that isn’t static. other_method<\/em> can’t be called from the static one unless it, too, is declared static<\/span>.<\/li>\n
  2. An object has been created [Objectx Ox = new Objectx();], but then its method methodx() is called using the class name [Objectx.methodx();]
    \nas opposed to the instance name [Ox.methodx();]\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
