Well, the compiler warning tells you everything you need to know. It doesn't know whether to treat null as a Class[] to pass directly into getMethod, or as a single null entry in a new Class[] array. I suspect you want the former behaviour, so cast the null to Class[]:

Method method = aClass.getMethod("getInstance", (Class[]) null);

If you wanted it to create a Class[] with a single null element, you'd cast it to Class:

Method method = aClass.getMethod("getInstance", (Class) null);

Alternatively you could remove the argument altogether, and let the compiler build an empty array:

Method method = aClass.getMethod("getInstance");
