well... i want make a Bump map on the cube object and its ask me to create Geometry.
well i tyred use createGeometry method for this but its ask me for a static method to use it.
so why is the Cube,Box methods are static ?
and how i can simply add Bumpmapping to my cube object ?   

as you see...

The static method createGeometry(float, float, float, int, boolean, int) from the type Box should
 be accessed in a static way

from Eclipse

IN the BumpmappingTest example in xithtk you see code like the following, which sets the bump mapping and bumpmap texture to use.  If this is not adequate I can paste some lower level code

Code:

Torus torus = new Torus( 2.0f, 0.375f, 48, 48, Geometry.COORDINATES | Geometry.NORMALS | Geometry.TEXTURE_COORDINATES, false, 2 );
        //torus.getAppearance().getMaterial( true );
       
        Texture tex = TextureLoader.getInstance().getTexture( "lena.dds", TextureFormat.RGB, Texture.MipmapMode.MULTI_LEVEL_MIPMAP );
        torus.getAppearance( true ).setTexture( tex );
       
        torus.setBumpMappingEnabled( true, "normalmap.bmp" );

Just use the static method like a static method . I suppose, you're using it like this.

Code:

Box myBox = ....;
myBox.createGeometry( ... );

Simply replace it by

Code:

Box myBox = ....;
Box.createGeometry( ... );

That's, how static methods are used.
