当我尝试在Linux上运行程序时，程序抛出错误（在Windows上运行正常）

Question

I'm making a swing aplication, which works "fine" on windows, but it sends an error on the (*) line.

public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException, java.lang.InstantiationException {

    try {
        for (javax.swing.UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo info : javax.swing.UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels()) {
            if ("Nimbus".equals(info.getName())) {
                javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel(info.getClassName());
                break;
            }
        }
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
        java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(MainView.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    } catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
        java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(MainView.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    } catch (javax.swing.UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
        java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(MainView.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }




    /* Create and display the dialog */
    java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(() -> {
        MainView dialog = null;
        try {
            dialog = new MainView(new javax.swing.JFrame(), true);
        } catch (ParseException | SQLException | ClassNotFoundException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(MainView.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }

        dialog.setVisible(true); /// (*) This line throws the error
    });
}

I already tried changing the code to what netbeans suggested, and it keeps showing the same error.

This is what netbeans changes:

    java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            MainView dialog = null;
            try {
                dialog = new MainView(new javax.swing.JFrame(), true);
            } catch (ParseException | SQLException | ClassNotFoundException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(MainView.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            }

            dialog.setVisible(true); /// (*) This line throws the error
        }
    });

Here is the error:

Answer 1

Why would you ever want to set the dialog to visible if creating the dialog has failed?

try {
   dialog = new MainView(new javax.swing.JFrame(), true);
   dialog.setVisible(true); //  <--- move it here
} catch (ParseException | SQLException | ClassNotFoundException ex) {
   Logger.getLogger(MainView.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}

Additionally

You should use imports ( import java.util.logging.* ) in a way that stops you having to write extremely ugly lines like

} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
    java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(MainView.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
    java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(MainView.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (javax.swing.UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
    java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(MainView.class.getName()).log(java.util.logging.Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}

and simplify them to

} catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
    Logger.getLogger(MainView.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
    Logger.getLogger(MainView.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
} catch (javax.swing.UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
    Logger.getLogger(MainView.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
