I am using Netbeans. I did some things with bindings and now whenever I start my program, before it even intializes the form, it gives me an error
The exception in thread main is ocuring before the form is even an intialized object yet. The form is not even an object yet. Every line in my main() causes an exception. Random stuff. I don't understand it at all.
Here is the error.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

Java Result: 1
OBD2nerForm line 731 is bindingGroup.bind(); sometimes it errors out on pack();
the exception in "main" does not even seem relevant because it occurs as soon as the program is run and every time I comment out a line it jumps to the next
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
jFormattedTextField2ActionPerformed(evt);
}

please help, i do not understand. What information do you need from me?
edit: it seems to all be code which I cannot touch. I should probly add that this started with netbeans adding about 200 invalid imports "import jCheckbox1" which I deleted.
Hope this helps...
Code snippet 1: Absolutely OK - all checked exceptions handled
Code snippet 2: Won't compile - unreported checked exception
Code snippet 3: OK (see code snippet 1)
Code snippet 4: Compilation error, initilalizer must be able to complete normally
Basically it boils down to this:
This makes sense as A CLASS SHOULD BE ABLE TO COMPLETE INITIALIZATION NORMALLY. If this happens to be a problem, this should be categorized as an Error (from which recovery is usually difficult or impossible) rather than an Exception (which is usually recoverable)...
I found that I had bound jFormattedCheckBox1.foreground to jCheckBox1[${selected}].... this was the problem. Thank you for your help.
It seems that a color should not be able to be bound to a boolean. I guess bindings are an "advance feature"?
I found the problem by deleting all of the controls, then running, then undoing and then deleting one at a time. When I found the offending control, i examined the properties.
@Christian Ullenboom' explanation is correct.
I'm surmising that the
OBD2nerForm
code you posted is a static initializer block and that it is all generated. Based on that and on the stack trace, it seems likely that generated code is tripping up because it has found some component of your form that doesn't have the type that it is expecting.I'd do the following to try and diagnose this:
My suspicion is that the root cause is a combination of something a bit unusual (or incorrect) with your form design, and bugs in the NetBeans form generator that is not coping with your form. If you can figure it out, a workaround may reveal itself.
You get an ExceptionInInitializerError if something goes wrong in the static initializer block.
Because static variables are initialized in static blocks there are a source of these errors too. An example:
=>
So if foo() goes wild, you get a ExceptionInInitializerError.
