Hey guys, I'm currently getting a Null Pointer Exception in this application that I'm currently making.



I'm currently getting an error at line 105 (this is where the for loop starts, creating JCheckBox objects). I understand what the Null Pointer Exception means, it means that I'm actually adding a value of null in place where I should be adding an object. In my eyes though, It seems that I AM adding an object in the ArrayList? I don't see the issue.

You define accessMod but never initialize it. So it is null and therefore you get a java.lang.NullPointerException when you try to use it.

Haha, I appreciate it. Wow, I feel so dumb now, it was such an obvious mistake now that I look back at it. Ugh.
