Well the first problem is that there is a file:
---------------------------------------------
public class UrlLabel extends JEditorPane implements HyperlinkListener {

	private final String url;

	public UrlLabel(String url) {
		this (url, url);
	}

	public UrlLabel(String url, String description) {
		this.url = url;
		setContentType("text/html");
		setText("<html><a href=\""+url+"\">"+description+"</a></html>");
		setToolTipText(url);
		setEditable(false);
		setOpaque(false);
		addHyperlinkListener(this);
	}
<SNIP>
------------------------------------
the setContentType line causes a null-pointer exception, so I commented
out that line. Of course it should be fixed instead of commenting out,
but without it at least i can test the program as a whole.
What should I do to get this fixed? It seems the bug is in the java
implementation, not the program, right?
