I'm using NetBeans 3.5.1. Why doesn't this work?

Referenced class:

public class MyClass {

   ...
   ...
   
   // All sorts of methods in here that work

   ...
   ...

   
    public Object objectForValue(int i) {
        // test code
        Object o = "objectForValue";
        return o;
    }
}

Here's where the error is:

public class MyOtherClass {

   ...
   ...
   
   // All sorts of methods in here that work

   ...
   ...

    public Object getObjectTest(int i) {
        // test code
        MyClass mine = new MyClass();
        Object o = mine.objectForValue(i); <<== ERROR
        return o;
    }

}

The error I get is:

myTestModel.java [40:1] cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method objectForValue (int)
location: class MPNode
            Object o = mine.objectForValue(i);

I intially just had the getObjectTest method as:

    public Object getObjectTest(int i) {
        MyClass mine = new MyClass();
        return mine.objectForValue(i);
    }

but that didn't work either. It gave the same error.

Apparently there is something about the Object class that I don't
understand. Could someone enlighten me?
