Calling a non-static function

Hi. I was wondering how I could pass some values from one program to
another. I'm writing a simple program. It's GUI based, and I extend
JFrame. I have some menus. One of these is a preferences menu, which is
another JFrame. I wrote a static function in the main program to allow
the preferences program send some values to the main program. Now, in
this static function, I would like to call connect(), a non-static
function. Is there any way I could go about doing that?

You have to create an instance of the object that the connect() method is
in:

Class1 c = new Class1();
c.connect();

Something like that.
