Using .jar files in the main function

Once I import .jar file to the main function. I have done everything correctly : (Right clickproject-­‐>Properties-­‐>JavaBuildPath-­‐>Libraries-­‐>AddJARs).

Now if I want to start using methods and variables from a class that's in the .jar file.

In the main function, do I just declare an object of the class type and start using methods from the class?

I tried that and it keeps giving me the error: "Syntax error on token ";", @ expected"

package abcd;

import util.Car;

public class Showroom {

   Car firstCar = new Car("BMW"); //overloaded constructor 

   Car secondCar = new Car(); //default constructor is empty 

   secondCar.setName("Lexus"); //setName is a method in the Car class but I get the above error for using this. 

}

I know it has a very easy solution but can you please explain what and why?

In java you can write logics only in some method or blocks.

so something like this

public void someMethod(Car secondCar){
secondCar.setName("Lexus");
}

you need to write statements in executable block (constructor, method, initializer block)

secondCar.setName("Lexus");
