java - NullPointerException在javax计时器上吗？

我想在状态栏上显示一个计时器。

如何摆脱“在行下面抛出NullPointerException” t = earthclock.getTimeStamp（）？

    public void startEarthTimer() {
    //final String t = null;
    earthTimer = new javax.swing.Timer(TIMEDELAY,
        new ActionListener() {
        //String t = null;
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
                String t = null;
                //leftLabel.setText(statusText);
                try {
                    // TODO: investigate why the line below is causing NullPointerException
                    EarthClock earthclock = Simulation.instance().getMasterClock().getEarthClock();
                    t = earthclock.getTimeStamp();
                } catch (Exception ee) {
                    ee.printStackTrace(System.err);
                }
                timeLabel.setText("Earth Time: " + t);
            }
        });

    earthTimer.start();
}

跟踪堆栈表示：

我的getTimeStamp（）并不复杂：

    public synchronized String getTimeStamp() {
    String result = formatter.format(cal.getTime());// + " UT";
    if (result == null) result = "0";
    return result;
}

我的EarthClock也是这样：

public class EarthClock {
    private final GregorianCalendar cal;


private final SimpleDateFormat formatter;

  public EarthClock(String dateString) {

    // Use GregorianCalendar constructor
    cal = new GregorianCalendar();

    // Set GMT timezone for calendar
    SimpleTimeZone zone = new SimpleTimeZone(0, "GMT");
    cal.setTimeZone(zone);

    // Initialize formatter
    formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd  HH:mm:ss 'UT'");
    formatter.setTimeZone(zone);

    // Set Earth clock to Martian Zero-orbit date-time.
    // This date may need to be adjusted if it is inaccurate.
    cal.clear();
    DateFormat tempFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss");
    tempFormatter.setTimeZone(zone);
    try {
        cal.setTime(tempFormatter.parse(dateString));
    } catch (ParseException ex) {
        throw new IllegalStateException(ex);
    }
}

我已经尝试了3个位置，用于在方法startEarthTimer（）内放置“ String t = null”，但没有一个起作用。我在主类中也有String t = null，并且在所有情况下都抛出NullPointerException。

谁能指出出什么问题了？
非常感谢！

编辑：在MasterClock中，我如下启动EarthClock的实例：

   public MasterClock() {
    // Initialize data members
    SimulationConfig config = SimulationConfig.instance();

    // Create an Earth clock
    earthTime = new EarthClock(config.getEarthStartDateTime());

    ....

    }

最佳答案

方法getEarthClock()返回null。尝试像这样破坏代码，并添加一些健全性检查来确定哪种方法返回null：

MasterClock master = Simulation.instance().getMasterClock();
if (master == null) {
  throw new IllegalStateException("master clock is null");
}
EarthClock earthclock = master.getEarthClock();
if (earthclock == null) {
  throw new IllegalStateException("earthclock is null");
}
t = earthclock.getTimeStamp();

您可能未正确配置地球时钟，或者可能缺少正在使用的库所需的某些配置。
