This } catch (IOException ex) { System.out. Println(ex.getMessage()); } should be: } catch (IOException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } This will give you much better information, most importantly the exact line where the NullPointerException occurs and from where that line is reached. If that doesn't make the cause of the problem obvious, start the program in a debugger and put a breakpoint on that line.
The detail exception are following:Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang. NullPointerException – Jack Dec 24 '10 at 17:46 1 @Jack: the important part is the lines after that. – Michael Borgwardt Dec 24 '10 at 18:41 this is all I can print – Jack Dec 24 '10 at 22:37.
