I have two classes under the package javaapplication9

the first class: -
package javaapplication9;

/**
*
* @author Administrator
*/
public class NewClass {

   /** Creates a new instance of NewClass */
   public NewClass() {
   }
    public int addn(int i)
       {
           return i + i;
       }
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The second class: -
package javaapplication9;

/**
*
* @author Administrator
*/
public class Main {

   /** Creates a new instance of Main */
   /*static Gear obj = new Gear();*/
   public Main() {
   }

   /**
    * @param args the command line arguments
    */
   public static void main(String[] args) {
       // TODO code application logic here
       System.out.println("test");
       NewClass obj = new NewClass();
      System.out.println(obj.addn(8));
      Gear t =new Gear();
      t.Jam();
   }

   public /*static*/ class Gear
   {
      public void Jam()
       {
           System.out.println("Testing");
       }
   }
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The problem:-
I can call non-static class NewClass from main and not the non-static
class Gear
Why??
Any other solution than declaring Gear static

Thanks
