problem with non-static variable

[fundean]

//The following error occurs when I try compiling the program:

//"non-static variable cannot be referenced from static context"

//The error occurs on lines beginning with

// messages[0] = new WelcomeEnglish();
//messages[1] = new WelcomeSpanish();
//messages[2] = new WelcomeFrench();

// can anyone suggest a solution? TIA

public class welcome
{
public interface WelcomeMessage
{
String getWelcomeMessage();
}

public class WelcomeEnglish implements WelcomeMessage
{
public String getWelcomeMessage()
{
return "Hello";
}
}

public class WelcomeSpanish implements WelcomeMessage
{
public String getWelcomeMessage()
{
return "Hola";
}
}

public class WelcomeFrench implements WelcomeMessage
{
public String getWelcomeMessage()
{
return "Bonjour";
}
}

public static void main(String args[])
{
WelcomeMessage messages[];
messages = new WelcomeMessage[3];
messages[0] = new WelcomeEnglish();
messages[1] = new WelcomeSpanish();
messages[2] = new WelcomeFrench();

for(int i=0; i<3; i++)
{
System.out.println(messages[i].getWelcomeMessages());
}
}
}

Please use the code tags. It just makes it eaiser to read. Correct. A non-static variable cannot be accessed from a static context.

 interface WelcomeMessage{
  String getWelcomeMessage();
 }

 class WelcomeEnglish implements WelcomeMessage{
  public String getWelcomeMessage(){
    return "Hello";
  }
 }

 class WelcomeSpanish extends WelcomeEnglish{
  public String getWelcomeMessage(){
   return "Hola";
 }
}

 class WelcomeFrench implements WelcomeMessage{
  public String getWelcomeMessage(){
  return "Bonjour";
 }
}

 public class welcome{
   public static void main(String args[]){
   WelcomeEnglish[] welcomeenglish = {new WelcomeSpanish()};
   WelcomeMessage[] welcomemessage = {new  WelcomeEnglish(),new WelcomeSpanish(), new WelcomeFrench()};

  for(int i=0; i<welcomeenglish.length; i++){
   System.out.println(welcomeenglish[i].getWelcomeMessage());
  }
  for(int i=0; i<welcomemessage.length; i++){
   System.out.println(welcomemessage[i].getWelcomeMessage());
  }
 }
}
