ClassCastException: javax.swing.plaf.FontUIResource cannot be cast to javax.swing.InputMap

Question

Running a swing application in java, and I got this exception in my program. It's worth noting that this does not show up every time I run the program.

Lines causing exception (In my source code) :

public static final WorkPanel WORK = new WorkPanel();

Goes to

super(new WorkTable(AllWork.getElements(), true, true, true, true, true, true, true),
            new WorkTable(AllWork.getElements(), true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true));

To

public ListTablePanel(RefreshableTable m, RefreshableTable t) {
    this.main = m;
    this.totals = t;

    setLayout(LayoutFactory.createLayout());

    JScrollPane pane = new JScrollPane(main);

    main.setAutoCreateRowSorter(false);

    totals.setFont(totals.getFont().deriveFont(Font.BOLD));
    totals.setEnabled(false);

    pane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);

    add(pane, LayoutFactory.newFactory().setFill(GridBagConstraints.BOTH).
            setY(0).setWeightX(1).setWeightY(1));
    add(totals, LayoutFactory.newFactory().setFill(GridBagConstraints.BOTH).
            setY(1).setWeightX(1).setInsets(new Insets(0, 2, 0, 17)));
}

The last piece of code in my source code is the construction of JScrollPane.

I don't understand why this exception is thrown.

Any time I see this:

Alarm bells go off in my head, and I think "am I handling Swing threading correctly"? Because it is not uncommon for Swing thread mishaps to cause strange errors that don't always occur.

So, are you handing Swing threading correctly, by first of all initiating and displaying the Swing GUI on the event thread? i.e.,

private static void createAndShowGui() {

  // create and display my GUI here

}

public static void main(String[] args) {
  SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
     public void run() {
        createAndShowGui();
     }
  });
}

By the way, you're not using Nimbus or another look and feel?

Answer 2

Fixed the error. Found out I was doing GUI stuff simultaneously in the EDT. Constructors took too long to use invokeLater(), started using invokeAndWait().
