Hi,

Could you tell me where I can add my GO.gif icon for the "GO" button I set
up in StyleSheet.java? I checked the different files and can't seem to find
an example. It's weird that I was able to compile just fine and did not get
a javax.swing.ImageIcon NullPointerException without that .gif file included
(as you mentioned).

I made sure that visad.jar was at the very end of my classpath so that
probably isn't the problem. Also, when you say to not run it by typing "java
-jar visad.jar", how exactly should I run it? I was just opening up a new
VisAD spreadsheet all over again. 

Thanks for your help,
Michelle

Hi Michelle,

The steps you've taken should be sufficient to add a new button
to the SpreadSheet, assuming you've also added a GO.gif icon for
that button (if not, you would receive a NullPointerException
from within javax.swing.ImageIcon).

The only thing I can think of is that perhaps when you execute
"java visad.ss.SpreadSheet", it could be running a different
version of the application.  This could occur (I think) if you
have a CLASSPATH that includes visad.jar before other folders
that contain your modified version of the SpreadSheet.

Or perhaps you are running "java -jar visad.jar" to execute the
SpreadSheet, in which case it would use the SpreadSheet.class
file within visad.jar instead of your recompiled version.
