Can't figure out how to create a keyboard class for lwjgl

[falconfetus8]

I'm very new to java. I'm trying to make a very basic game engine as a way to help me learn the language. Of course, before I can make an infinite loop, I have to know how to get input from the keyboard so that I can break out of it.

Unfortunately, that's where the problem is. I can't seem to get a key-press input to work. I'm getting an error saying:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Keyboard must be created before you can query key state
	at org.lwjgl.input.Keyboard.isKeyDown(Keyboard.java:398)
	at Runner.<clinit>(Runner.java:8)

I've tried making a new variable and setting it to "new Mouse();", but that didn't do anything. Can anyone help me?

Here is my Runner.class:

//imports
import org.lwjgl.input.Keyboard;
import org.lwjgl.input.Mouse;

public class Runner {
	//declare variables
	public static General_Mob Mob1 = new General_Mob(); //create a new instance of General_Mob called "Mob1"
	static boolean keyDown = Keyboard.isKeyDown(Keyboard.KEY_X);
	
	//methods
	public static void main(String[] args){
		System.out.println("Check.  Check.  Check.");
		Mob1.Create();
		for (;keyDown;){
		goAround(Mob1);
		}
		}
	
	public static void goAround(General_Mob Mob1){
		Mob1.goAround();
		
	}

}

And in case my "General_Mob" class is causing some sort of error, here's the source for that too:

//imports
import java.lang.Math;
import org.lwjgl.input.Keyboard;
import org.lwjgl.input.Mouse;

public class General_Mob {
	
	//declare variables
	private static double x, y, z, vspeed, hspeed, zspeed, friction;
	public static int xround, yround, zround;

	//methods
	public static void Create() {
		x = 0;
		y = 0;
		vspeed=3;
		hspeed=2;
		zspeed=1;
		friction=2;

	}
	
	public static void goAround(){
		//First things first: Update the mob's position, speed, and friction.
		crunchPhysics();
		System.out.println("X:" + xround + " Y:" + yround + " Z:" + zround);
	}
	
	
	public static void crunchPhysics(){
				//Slow the mob down based on its friction
				if (hspeed <=0){
					hspeed+=friction;
				}
				else{
					hspeed-=friction;
				}
				
				if (vspeed <=0){
					vspeed+=friction;
				}
				else{
					vspeed-=friction;
				}
				if (zspeed <=0){
					zspeed+=friction;
				}
				else{
					zspeed-=friction;
				}
				
				//Move the mob based on its speed.
				x += hspeed;
				y += vspeed;
				z += zspeed;
				
				
				//Round the positions to integers so that they can be drawn on the screen.  After all, how can you draw something that's .01 pixels?
				xround=(int) Math.rint(x);
				yround=(int) Math.rint(y);
				zround=(int) Math.rint(z);
				
	}

}

Can you rewrite your programs to use the java SE classes? Not many people have the third party packages and classes you are using.
Or is that what you are trying to learn?
