Can't Access Imported Class Method

I am trying to create a new Path using the following method:

Path path = new Paths.get(path_name);

I've imported both Path and Paths and I have confirmed that the method get exists in Paths, but Eclipse is telling me that the method does not exist. It says: Paths.get cannot be resolved to a type What should I do? I restarted Eclipse and my PC but still no luck. Thanks in advance.

get(..) is a static method. Call it like this:

Path path = Paths.get(path_name);

Your code snippet is incorrect: invoking a static method does not require new

Path path = Paths.get(path_name); // get(...) is a static method
