JTextPane array

[SankaR7]

I am trying to create an array of JTextPane and the add different icons to the elements.

So i created the array by doing this:
JTextPane[] normPane = new JTextPane[4];

But now when i try to insert and icon into say for example normPane[0] like this:
normPane[0].insertIcon(icon);


which is how i would insert an icon to a regular JTextPane, i get run time errors

Am I not accessing the arrays in the right manner?
Not quite sure how to fix this.
Would appreciate any help!

Showing the full error message might help as well as some more relevant code.

You allocated space for the array to hold 4 text panes, but the array is empty. You need to add text panes to the array:

normPane[0] = new JTextPane();
normPane[0].insertIcon(icon);

I assumed this too, but I wanted to get the original poster to post his error messages so he could see for himself that he had a NullPointerException and what that meant, and so he would get in the habit of posting all the pertinent information when asking a question here.

Sorry about that Pete, I didn't mean for the poster ignore your answer. I often answer questions with advice like that and get annoyed when someone spoonfeeds the answer.

I have a bad habbit of opening multiple windows with the questions I intend to answer. Sometimes, by the time I get around to answer the question other suggestions have already been made :)
