Gives me an error while creating an object in java

I faced an error while creating my object using a defined class in Java. Here is my code:

public class encapsulation {

    class Emp
    {
        int empId;
        String empName;
    }

    public static void main(String[]args)   
    {
        Emp e1 = new Emp();
    }
}

But it gives me an error:

No enclosing instance of type encapsulation is accessible. Must qualify the allocation with an enclosing instance of type encapsulation (e.g. x.new A() where x is an instance of encapsulation).

Here is a screeshot: Error in object creation using java

When you have an inner class Emp in encapsulation, any instance of Emp belongs to an instance of encapsulation. If you don't want that, make it a nested class instead, by adding a static modifier:

public class encapsulation {
    static class Emp {
    ......

Now that Emp is declared static, it does not belong to any particular instance of encapsulation, so you don't need to instantiate encapsulation to instantiate Emp.

You are trying to instantiate an object of an inner class. Inner class instances always need to be associated with an outer class instance. Try this - 

public static void main(String[]args)
{
    encapsulation en = new encapsulation();
    encapsulation.Emp e1 = en.new Emp();
}

Check out the official tutorial for more info.
