I'm not entirely certain what you want to do. It looks to me like you've stumbled upon the syntax for creating an object and invoking it all at the same time.

Perhaps you can post all of your code so that we can really see what it is you're trying to do.

I'm moving this to Java in General (Beginner).

A class method is another term for a static method.

If myMethod() is static, you can just say

 myClass.myMethod() 

Your version of the code does extra work by creating an object. Since myMethod() is static, the object you created is unreachable and immediately eligible for garbage collection. However, your call to myMethod() will work fine.

If myMethod() is not static, your code creates an object of class myClass and calls myMethod on that object. When myMethod returns, the object will be eligible for garbage collection unless myMethod() saved a copy of this in a static member of myClass or outside of myClass.
