jMenuBar does not show any of its jmenuitems in swing

Question

I have added some menu item in my menu bar in Swing. When I run the program, the menu bar does not show any JMenuItems, and instead throws a NullPointerException.

When I create a menubar in AWT, it works just fine. I have not added any functionality in this program. I use NetBeans, and just dragged and dropped these Swing components into my Panel. please help!

The errors source is that the ressource loading does not work:

org.jdesktop.application.ResourceMap resourceMap = org.jdesktop
    .application.Application
    .getInstance(flupertech.FlupertechApp.class).getContext()
    .getResourceMap(test.class);
jMenu1.setText(resourceMap.getString("jMenu1.text")); // NOI18N
jMenu1.setName("jMenu1"); // NOI18N

jMenuItem1.setText(resourceMap.getString("jMenuItem1.text")); // NOI18N
jMenuItem1.setName("jMenuItem1"); // NOI18N
jMenu1.add(jMenuItem1);

jMenuBar1.add(jMenu1);

jMenu2.setText(resourceMap.getString("jMenu2.text")); // NOI18N

If i change it to:

jMenu1.setText("b"); // NOI18N
jMenu1.setName("jMenu1"); // NOI18N

jMenuItem1.setText("c"); // NOI18N
jMenuItem1.setName("jMenuItem1"); // NOI18N
jMenu1.add(jMenuItem1);

jMenuBar1.add(jMenu1);

jMenu2.setText("a"); // NOI18N
jMenu2.setName("jMenu2"); // NOI18N
jMenuBar1.add(jMenu2);

It works well, you may want to find out why your ResourceMap or one of its methods return null.

okay i understand your point. but how can i check my ResourceMap's properties? — Ankush Tyagi, Jul 23 '15 at 13:55
Just set a break point at the line, then inspect with the Debugger what is null. — mambax, Jul 23 '15 at 13:56

It works now. Just needed to create an object. So i created a new jForm and called it using a jButton. So it passes an object of this form and it works just fine now.
