Abstract class reference itself

Question

How do I reference an abstract class to itself.
public abstract class SomeClass {
   public static SomeType SomeMethod(){
         SomeClass mine = new SomeClass();
   }It gives me an error saying it can not instantiate the class.

Answer 1

Possible source of confusion: you can declare a variable of type abstract class and assign it an object of a derived class that fully implements the abstract class. For instance:
abstract class SomeClass
     public static void SomeMethod(){}
     public abstract void greeting();
class AnotherClass extends SomeClass
     public void greeting()
          System.out.println("hello");
public class DemoAbstractClasses
     public static void main(String args[])
          SomeClass A = new AnotherClass(); // A's type is an abstract class
          A.greeting();  //polymorphism
}
