V2.1i COREGEN, HP - NullPointerException thrown after error dialog pops up on HP only
Description
Keywords: core, null, pointer, exception, hp, 11
Urgency: hot
General Description: If customization parameters specified for a core in the CORE Generator are incorrect, an error dialog pops up informing the user of that fact. However, on the HP only, this error dialog is associated with a NullPointer Exception.
Example:
java.lang.NullPointerException at sun.awt.motif.MComponentPeer.<init>(Compiled Code) at sun.awt.motif.MCanvasPeer.<init>(Compiled Code) at sun.awt.motif.MPanelPeer.<init>(Compiled Code) at sun.awt.motif.MWindowPeer.<init>(MWindowPeer.java:42) at sun.awt.motif.MToolkit.createWindow(MToolkit.java:174) at java.awt.Window.addNotify(Compiled Code) at java.awt.Window.pack(Compiled Code) at com.sun.java.swing.ToolTipManager$WindowPopup.<init>(ToolTipManager.java:528) at com.sun.java.swing.ToolTipManager.showTipWindow(ToolTipManager.java:167) at com.sun.java.swing.ToolTipManager.mouseEntered(Compiled Code) at java.awt.AWTEventMulticaster.mouseEntered(Compiled Code) at java.awt.Component.processMouseEvent(Compiled Code) at java.awt.Component.processEvent(Compiled Code) at java.awt.Container.processEvent(Compiled Code) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Compiled Code) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Compiled Code) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Compiled Code) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.retargetMouseEvent(Compiled Code) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.setMouseTarget(Compiled Code) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.processMouseEvent(Compiled Code) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.dispatchEvent(Compiled Code) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Compiled Code) at java.awt.Window.dispatchEventImpl(Compiled Code) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Compiled Code) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Compiled Code)
Solution
The NullPointerException appears to associated with the error GUI only. It does not prevent the user from generating the specified core.
This problem has been fixed in the 3.1i release with the new version of JDK and JRE used in that version of the CORE Generator application.
