Hopefully this will be my last post here for Java!!!!<br />
<br />
I have written a method (VB programming coming in here!)<br />
which is called by &quot;car31.setRegistationNumbe<wbr />r(getReadI<wbr />nput(&quot;What<wbr /> is the Cars registration number?&quot;));&quot;<br />
however get a &quot;non-static method&quot; error on every line I use this on, I cannot understand this error!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
&nbsp; private String getReadInput(String outPutTest)<br />
&nbsp; {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; System.out.print(outPutTes<wbr />t);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.i<wbr />n));<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; try {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; String keyRet = in.readLine();<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; return keyRet;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; } <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; catch(Exception e) {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; e.printStackTrace();<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; return &quot;-1&quot;;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; }<br />

non-static method

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
