Problem with accessor class (getting plugin) ?

Hi. I'm trying to access the main class in an accessor class by using the plugin method but I'm getting a few errors:

My accessor class looks like:

Code:java

 
public class AccessorClass {
    private MainClass plugin;
    public AccessorClass(MainClass plugin) {
        this.plugin = plugin;
    }
 
    public static String getGroup(String group) {
        String groupConfig = plugin.getGroupFile().getString("Groups." + group);
        return groupConfig;
    }
}
 

and when I use the variable "plugin" anywhere, it returns an underlined error saying "cannot make a static reference to the non-static field plugin".

If I change plugin to static then I return an error in the console on usage (for example, when I use: AccessorClass.getGroup(group)").

If I remove static from the method (getGroup) then I get an underlined error on use saying "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method getGroup(String) from the type AccessorClass".

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Try adding this to your main class:

Code:java

 
// Main class and other code-stuffs
private static CLASSNAME plugin;
 
public static CLASSNAME getPlugin() {
return plugin;
}

And in that other class simply do:

Code:java

public static String getGroup(String group) {
    String groupConfig = MAINCLASS.getPlugin().getGroupFile().getString("Groups." + group);
    return groupConfig;
}

Hope it helps
