exception in initializer error in java when using Netbeans

Question

I am using Netbeans   I did some things with bindings and now whenever I start my program  before it even initializes the form  it gives me an error The exception in thread main is occuring before the form is even an initialized 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  quot main quot  java lang ExceptionInInitializerError         at obd2ner main obd2ner java 26  Caused by  java lang ClassCastException         at java lang Class cast Class java

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    Google for reports of similar problems with NetBeans generated forms  If you are running an old version of NetBeans  scan through the  bugs fixed  pages for more recent releases   Or just upgrade try a newer release anyway to see if that fixes the problem  Try cutting bits out of the form design until the problem  goes away      and try to figure out what the real cause is that way  Run the application under a debugger to figure out what is being  incorrectly  type cast as what   Just knowing the class names may help   And looking at the instance variables of the objects may reveal more  e g  which specific form component is causing the problem    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   class C     static             if something does wrong - gt  ExceptionInInitializerError         Because static variables are initialized in static blocks there are a source of these errors too  An example   class C     static int v   D foo            class C     static int v     static         v   D foo            So if foo   goes wild  you get a ExceptionInInitializerError

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 advanced 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

Wherever there is errors or exceptions in static blocks  this exception will be thrown  To get the cause of this exception simply use Throwable getCause   to know what is wrong

Hope this helps     class SomeClass      Code snippet here        Code snippet 1  Absolutely OK - all checked exceptions handled  static void m1            try              throw new Exception              catch Exception e               System out println e               static          m1        Code snippet 2  Won t compile - unreported checked exception  static void m1   throws Exception          throw new Exception      static          m1        Code snippet 3  OK  see code snippet 1   static void m1   throws Exception          throw new Exception      static          try m1             catch Exception e               System out println e                 or whatever               Code snippet 4  Compilation error  initilalizer must be able to complete normally  static          throw new RuntimeException        Basically it boils down to this    Inside the static block  every checked exception MUST have a handler  If a RuntimeException were to occur  it would be wrapped in ExceptionInInitializerError and then the latter would be thrown    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
