Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException

[hemanthjava]

I am getting the following exception when I am running my Swing Application. But the program continues and does not terminate abruptly unlike general Exceptions

How do I avoid this exception. What would be the cause for such an exception

At line 1399, you try to call a method of a null object. Check that line and test the objects there for nullness (e.g. if (myObj == null) {print("myObj is null");}. Once you find which object is null, try to fix that bug by analyzing why it is null and how you can solve ..

Hello JavaBean,
But the class on which the method is invoked which results in a NullPointer is a Java Built-in Class. Hence I am not able to debug through the classes. When I do so I get lost in the never ending series of step walk-throughs

Looks like the jvm tried to draw your JTree and found some null/corrupt data in the model. Check your tree model data.
