non-static member can not be referenced from a static context

[christina]

If for every program I write a main function , which is a static method how am I supposed to call other non static functions from that?
thanks

Instantiate the object.

public class MyObject
{
private void privateMethod() { /*do stuff*/ }

public static void main(String[] args)
{
MyObject mo = new MyObject();
mo.privateMethod();
}
}

christina,

brian has answered your question but why do you want to have main method for each class?

Even more important: why are you asking this question in a thread from 2007?
