Help! Bug?
Help! I've looked, and looked, and looked for about 3 weeks for a bug that is keeping me from moving on with the program. Okay so here's the problem. I run the program and nothing pops up. Though I figured out that all I had to do was maximize it then make it smaller again to make it show up. As you can see in the code below when I click the button called phrasemaker the text in nounbox1 should show up in the JTextArea midgui. But when I click it nothing happens! Please help!
Code:

Re: Help! Bug?
When posting code, please follow the forum instructions and enclose it in CODE tags so it remains formatted and readable. I, for one, have neither the time nor the inclination to wade through a vast wodge of unformatted code.
Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute...

Re: Help! Bug?
That code does not compile, but even fixing it.... your event listeners do nothing. The only method implemented is:
Code:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ev) {
midgui.append(nounbox1.getText() + "\n ");
}
And it throws a NullPointerException: nounbox is null because it never was initialized.
