Exception appears when Border interface is implemented by the same class which extends JComponent:

class SomePanel extends JPanel implements Border{
public SomePanel(){
	setBorder(this);
}
[...]
}

EVALUATION Although this is a weird case, there's no reason why we shouldn't fix it. Code line in question is in JComponent.paramString(): String borderString = (border != null ? border.toString() : ""); I recommend something like: String borderString = (border == null ? "" : (border == this ? "this" : border.toString()));
