Static context cannot access non-static in Collectors

by

Unfortunately, the error message “Non-static method cannot be refered from a static context.” is just a place-holder for any type mismatch problem, when method references are involved. The compiler simply failed to determine the actual problem.

In your code, the target type Map<Integer, Map<String, List<String>>> doesn’t match the result type of the combined collector which is Map<Integer, List<String>>, but the compiler didn’t try to determine this (stand-alone) result type, as the (nested) generic method invocations incorporating method references requires the target type for resolving the method references. So it doesn’t report a type mismatch of the assignment, but a problem with resolving the method references.

The correct code simply is

Map<Integer, List<String>> groupping = students.stream()
    .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Student::getMarks, 
             Collectors.mapping(Student::getName, Collectors.toList())));
