Comments
EVALUATION The problem is in the SwingSet2 demo. I can't reproduce the same NPE, but I get another one: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException at TableDemo$16.getColumnClass(TableDemo.java:552) at javax.swing.JTable.getColumnClass(JTable.java:2667) at javax.swing.JTable.getCellRenderer(JTable.java:5671) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTableUI.paintCell(BasicTableUI.java:2071) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTableUI.paintCells(BasicTableUI.java:1974) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTableUI.paint(BasicTableUI.java:1770) at javax.swing.plaf.ComponentUI.update(ComponentUI.java:143) The following code doesn't take into account that the JTable can be edited: public Class getColumnClass(int c) {return getValueAt(0, c).getClass();}
