Answer 1

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at jmfcam05v.startCapture(jmfcam05v.java:202)

Some object reference at line 202 of jmfcam05v.java, inside the startCapture() method, is null while the code is trying to access/invoke it using the dot . operator.

E.g.

SomeObject someObject = null;
someObject.doSomething(); // NullPointerException.

The solution is actually easy. Just make sure that it’s not null by either instantiating it:

if (someObject == null) {
    someObject = new SomeObject();
}
someObject.doSomething(); // No NPE more!

… or by simply doing a nullcheck before accessing/invoking:

if (someObject != null) {
    someObject.doSomething(); // No NPE more!
}
