Problem:
When using Maven to build a JAR from a project with IntelliJ IDEA UI designer forms, the necessary designer form handling code is not compiled into the JAR because Maven is unaware of it being required. Using IntelliJ IDEA to build the JAR and/or compile the classes works.
An exception is caused on starting the JAR because the field is null without the designer "linking" it with the form:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.awt.Container.addImpl(Container.java:1093)
at java.awt.Container.add(Container.java:1005)
at javax.swing.JFrame.addImpl(JFrame.java:567)
at java.awt.Container.add(Container.java:417)
...
Attempted solution:
According to this tutorial, you should be able to build JARs with IntelliJ IDEA form designer code using Maven but I'm getting the following error instead:
