Answer 1

You just need to declare the variable static and use the class name to access it.

class A{
static int a =5;
}
class Test{

public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(A.a);
}
}

By the way your code will not even compile.

Answer 2

there are two different classes,
The A has declared the a (and it is non-static)
create the object of A for access its (non-static) fields

A objA = new A();
System.out.println(objA.a);

(this is another way how to solve it)
