Re: static methods in interfaces

sorry, I meant SSCunCE.
It should now be clear why this can't be an instance method (there
might not event *be* any instances)


public interface TheInterface {
    public static String getSomethingReleventToClass();

}

public Class AClass implements TheInterface {
    private static String somethingReleventToClass = "This will be
different
in each class"; // *** I've changed this to static here ***
    public static String getSomethingReleventToClass() {
        return somethingReleventToClass;
    }

}

public Class Application {
    private TheInterface someClass;
    public Application() {
        someClass.getSomethingReleventToClass();
    }
}
