Hi,

I downloaded "OpenJump openjump-windows-setup-1.4.0.3.exe" and when I
try to start it I get a java exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException

Any fix for this?

Hi,

What Java and Windows versions do you have?

Hi Peter,

Can you give more precision about your host system (windows version,
java version)

As far as I can see, there is a problem with the JFileChooser
initialization (a missing icon ?), but JFileChooser is a standard Java
component.

Also can you tell me how you get the error stacktrace.

I'm on Windows XP SP2 and have C:\Program Files\Java\jre6

I get the stacktrace when launching OpenJump. I get a window saying
"Null Pointer Exception" "No description was provided". Then I can
clic on "Show Details".

Hi Peter,

Quite strange, I cannot reproduce the problem, neither on my Windows
Vista machine nor on a Windows XP SP3.
Can you confirm :
- you downloaded openjump-windows-setup-1.4.0.3.exe
- you made a proper installation (no OpenJUMP in your C:\Program
Files\OpenJUMP folder before)
- you get no particular warning during installation
- OpenJUMP is launched automatically at the end of the installation
- you have now an OpenJUMP installation in C:\Program Files\OpenJUMP
- you have tried to launch OpenJUMP from
the windows program launcher
C:\Program Files\OpenJUMP\bin\OpenJUMP.exe
C:\Program Files\OpenJUMP\bin\OpenJUMP.bat
- In the error message, it seems that the error is raised by the
OpenFile menu dialog, not by OpenJUMP start. Can you say when exactly
you get the error
