    Default Re: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException

    Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at engineeringSpecificationInterface.EngineeringSpeci ficationInterface.comboBoxState(EngineeringSpecifi cationInterface.
    java:783)
    Look at the variables on line 783 and see which one has a null value. If you can't tell by looking, add a println() statement just before line 783 that prints out the values of all the variables on line 783 so you can see which one has the null value. Then backtrack in the code to see why it is null.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
