Collectible Card Game Headquarters

I cannot use the New UI setting, the application throws up an exception trace and then eventually dies. I am running the latest Java runtime under Windows 7 (I am a local administrator)

Thanks again for an awesome product and keep up the amazing work guys.

Strange... does the same thing happen with the 07-31 beta?

Code: Select all

if (showCastingCost && !isAnimationPanel && cardWidth < 200) {

This is the line where it breaks, showCastingCost might not have been initialized? Then again, isn't an uninitialized boolean set to false?

Primitive data types in Java cannot be null. So that error can't happen on this line according to Java specification.

class A
{
int a;
boolean b;
}

In a new object:

a is initialized to 0
b is initialized to false

Yeah, so what's going wrong? It doesn't make sense

but what if you do this:

A myAObject = null;

Right, but these are not objects, they're primitive data types.

but what if the object they were a member of was null? We often create placeholder objects that will be assigned at a later point, but in the meantime, to make the compiler happy about initializing objects, they're set to null.
