Hi there HDRG, I suggest very strongly that you look at the Javadoc for NullpointerException :

http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/NullPointerException.html

The Javadoc API is an incredibly useful tool for any Java developer and should be your first port of call, especially for exceptions.
I see that each of your classes has a main() method, not sure why. But have you tried to run the main method of class ISUmessdup?

NullPointerException ("NPE") means either you are using a variable that hasn't been initialised, or you are using the result of a method that has returned null.
Search down the error listing until you find a reference to one of your classes, and that's where the error happened, in this case:
at OptionWindow.<init><OptionWindow.java:63>
<init> means during initialisation of a new instance (ie in the constructor), but 63 is the exact line number in file OptionWindow.java

I had a very quick look at the code, and it looks like you have initialised all the JLables. but not the JTextFields, so when you try to add a text field to the window, the variables holding the text fields are still null.

Just to add , how to read Exception stack trace to figure out what is wrong and where is wrong


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.awt.Container.addImpl<Container.java:1041>
at java.awt.Container.add<Container.java:365>
at OptionWindow.<init><OptionWindow.java:63>
at OptionWindow.main<OptionWindow.java:182>

1) first useful information is Exception is in your "main" thread.
2) second useful informaiton is its while calling below method in Container.Java file at line 1041
java.awt.Container.addImpl<Container.java:1041>

the gotcha here is that this might be from java library or any third party library , so you would like to scroll down till the line it comes to your method and now you know at which line of your source code is creating this exception.

3) NullPointerException occurs when a) you call methods , access variables on an object which is null b) you try to synchronize on an object which is null

hope this helps.

I had forgotten to add all the JTextfields in OptionWindow.. Thanks for pointing that out..
But this part of the program still gives the message "java uses or overrides a deprecated API."

Read the whole of the error message - it tells you the line number where the error is found.
Deprecated means you have used something from an old version of Java that has been replaced by something better. Look at the method(s) you call on the relevant line. The JavaDoc API documentation will tell you how you should update your code

Thanks James.. oh yeah is there a way of making a text field only display output? because when you leave the text field blank, it gives an error message, there has to be a zero in it. so i was wondering if the text field could be output only..

Use a JLabel instead?

lol nvm i got it... what i meant was that a text field that only outputs calculated values. but prevents anything from being typed in that field. It was basically this:

expensetotalTF.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLoweredBevelBorder());
		    expensetotalTF.setEditable(false);
