NullPointerExce ption when adding event to Jbutton - Netbeans

3 New Member

I am trying to edit the GUI of a project in Netbeans. In particular, I am trying to add new JButtons. I get a NullPointerExce ption when I try to add an Event to any given JButton (even ones that already exist) in my application using the Design Editor.

I go about this by right-clicking on the JButton in the design editor, navigating to Events -> Action -> actionPerformed . The auto-generated code appears for a brief moment before it disappears and throws the NullPointerExce ption. I am using NetBeans IDE 6.1 and JDK 6u7.

Below is the details of the exception. I am in dire need of a solution, but cannot find any solutions on the web, only old Bug tickets related to similar issues that have allegedly been fixed long ago. If anyone has some ideas, please assist me!

The main one I've been using for reference is from Sun's Java Tutorials. Admittedly, I don't fully understand the whole...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
