ExceptionInInitializerError when using self-built jar

[Daniel]

Hi everybody,

i need to add some functionality to RSyntaxTextArea - so I modified Gutter.java and LineNumberList.java a bit and built the RSyntaxtTextArea project in NetBeans (7.2)
i added this .jar that was the output of previous step to my actual project

and when i run my program and try to open some file in the RSyntaxTextArea - i get the "ExceptionInInitializationError" for the line: "private static final EditorKit defaultKit = new RSyntaxTextAreaEditorKit();" in file RSyntaxTextAreaUI.java which i did not touch.

also, i should say, that i am using the 2.0.4.1 code as the base for my experiments.

so my question is, has anybody expicienced this? or how should i get rid of this problem?
thanks very much and have a nice day

Did you add the "i18n" folder as a source folder in your project? If you do that, and still have problems, please post the entire stack trace. The ExceptionInInitializerError wraps the "real" exception.
