-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I'm writing a Cocoa-Java app and have run into a problem. I'm trying to use 'java.security.MessageDigest' in my code and it will not compile. I'm using XCode and and the compiler complains:

cannot resolve symbol : class getInstance

The code is initializing a MessageDigest object:

MessageDigest md = new MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-1");

Your syntax is wrong. getInstance() is a static method.  Drop the "new":

MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-1");
