I create a JTabbedPane in a JFrame using netbeans visual creator. And build a JPanel also. When I add that JPanel as a tab I got the following error. Sometimes it doesn't occur.

This is the code to add JPanel as a Tab.

 jTabbedPane2.addTab("Swimmer",new SwimmerPanel());

What is the error?

    Right now, this question should be closed (one as a duplicate and two for no runnable code). Consider providing a [runnable example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve) which demonstrates your problem. This is not a code dump, but an example of what you are doing which highlights the problem you are having. This will result in less confusion and better responses – MadProgrammer Oct 05 '15 at 10:42

You probably didn't initialized the JTabbedPane :

JTabbedPane jTabbedPane2 = new JTabbedPane();
