nullpointer exception (java.util.zip)
Dec 12th, 2005, 9:31pm  
One of my students has tried running a specific processing
app that he has written on several different machines:
All windows, running 0098, and they apparently work, but
on my windows machine, I get:

java.lang.NullPointerException
  at java.util.zip.InflateerInputStream.<init>(Unknown    Source)

Any ideas on what can be causing this error? The source
is fairly lengthy, but I am confused by why his machines
all work, and mine has this particular error. Thanks.

I have removed the CLASSPATH, and also tried 0098
(both expert and standard), and 0097. We are both
using Java 1.5_06 as the JRE (viewed from the Sun Java console).

i'd try with the version that includes java so that you can make sure it's not a java 1.5 problem.

i'd also look into anywhere that you're using a zip file, or if you're not, something weird is happening when the jar is being loaded by your browser. which again, could be a java 1.5 problem.

something like this also came up when trying to load png images repeatedly inside of draw().

Yes, as it turns out, the student had not provided
me with the "data" directory, containing a gzipped
font. I should have thought of that first...
so, we can close this one. thanks.
