IntelliJ idea gui designer + maven

问题:

I have a project created with help of GUI designer. Here is code of main form.

public class MainForm {
    MainForm() {
        directLineOkButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
               //some action
                }
            }
        });
        crossLineOkButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
               //some action
        });
        clearButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
            //some action
        });
        cancelButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
            //some action
        });
        saveButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
           public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
          //some action
        });
    }

    public JPanel getMainPanel() {
        return mainPanel;
    }

    private void createUIComponents() {
        drawingPanel = new DrawingPanel();
    }

    private JPanel mainPanel;
    private JComboBox directDirectionCombobox;
    private JButton directLineOkButton;
    private JButton crossLineOkButton;
    private JComboBox crossLineComboBox;
    private JTextField crossLineSizeValue;
    private JButton clearButton;
    private JLabel directLineLabel;
    private JPanel directLinePanel;
    private JLabel crossLineLabel;
    private JPanel crossLinePanel;
    private JPanel okClearButtonPanel;
    private JTextField directLineSizeValue;
    private JButton saveButton;
    private JPanel drawingPanel;
    private JButton cancelButton;
}

It works fine. Jar file generates fine, here code of pom.xml

</project>

But when I try to run jar file there is a mistake.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at MainForm.<init>(MainForm.java:14)
at Main.main(Main.java:13)

It show that mistake is at the line where directLineOkButton listener is created. I create listener like said here: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/training/demos/GUI_Designer/GUI_Designer.html in constructor using cmd+o. Here is code of xml of form:

You must include ideauidesigner-maven-plugin:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>ideauidesigner-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.0-beta-1</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>javac2</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>

            <configuration>
                <fork>true</fork>
                <debug>true</debug>
                <failOnError>true</failOnError>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

and optionally - if you use GridLayoutManager or JGoodies - include also forms_rt as dependency:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.intellij</groupId>
        <artifactId>forms_rt</artifactId>
        <version>7.0.3</version>
    </dependency>

I've found decision by myself. http://glxn.net/2010/08/17/making-a-swing-project-using-intellij-idea-and-gui-builder-with-maven-including-executable-jar/ You need special plugin to make maven projects with intelliji idea gui designer.

回答3:

I had the same problem with building my project with maven. What solved my problem was to change the value for "Generate GUI into:" from "Binary class files" --> "Java source code" in the settings (found in Project|Settings|Editor|GUI Designer).

回答4:

In your dynamic initializer (the part with the {{}}), you are accessing directLineOkButton:

directLineOkButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
               //some action
                }
            }
        });

However, that field hasn't been assigned yet, so you get a NullPointerException.
