I'm hoping this is the right place for posting my question. This is the error I'm getting in my code...

The first step is here....

java.lang.NullPointerException
at retrievalGabor.main(retrievalGabor.java:90)


In the main() method of the retrievalGabor class at line 90 of the retrievalGabor.java file is the offending line. Add a few debugging messages of the variables used in the line to find the null pointer.

That's still essentially illegible. Consider (a) indenting your code, (b) splitting long lines so we don't have to right-scroll a few screens, and (c) writing a method or two.

Is the NPE coming from the readline().split(" ") call?

According to the API, java.io.BufferedReader.readLine() will return null if the end of the stream has been reached, in which case tokens=(br.readLine()).split(" "); would throw an NPE since you can't call split a null.

In addition to David Newton's formatting concerns, I'm worried that 230 lines of code have been written without individually testing any of it. A beginner should write 5 lines of code, test it thoroughly, and then write 5 more (use methods). I'm sorry if I'm wrong and that's exactly what you've done, but that's not how it looks.

I would argue that EVERYONE should test like that, not just beginners.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
