How to fix a NullPointerException error when running a program with becker.jar as an external jar?












-1















I am setting up a program for a class I am taking. All the code has been provided and I have configured everything into Eclipse. I also had to use becker.jar as an external jar file in the Libraries -> Classpath. When I run the program an error occurs about a NullPointerException.



Here is the picture of the jar and class folders on the build pathj



I already tried changing the becker.jar into the modulepath instead of classpath but then Eclipse cannot find the file. I also tried reinstalling becker.jar as well as redoing the entire setup for the project.



Here is the code I am trying to set up:



import becker.robots.*;

/*
Starting Template:
This file was created in order to provide you with a pre made
'starter' program
*/

public class Starting_Template extends Object {
public static void main(String args) {
City toronto = new City();
Robot jo = new Robot(toronto, 3, 0, Direction.EAST, 0);
new Thing(toronto, 3, 2);


jo.move();
jo.turnLeft();
}
}


When running this error shows up:



Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

This is a bug. See for example https://issues.jboss.org/browse/PLANNER-255?_sscc=t - the becker.jar has nothing to do with it.
