Hi Christian,

The following is the relevant part of the stack trace:

> org.basex.gui.view.project.ProjectCellRenderer.getTreeCellRendererComponent(ProjectCellRenderer.java:29)

It is difficult to spot among the rest of the Java function calls.

Kind regards,

Reece

Yes, this problem seems to be caused by the combination of your Linux environment and the Java version (the stack trace only contains paths to standard Java classes). Which JDK do you use?

Hi Folks,

I got this error trying to specify a directory location when creating a database using the GUI by dialog.  Creating the database via command works.  I feel like this is somehow not the fault of BaseX because I don't see this on my other Linux machine.  Nonetheless, I'd like recommendations on how the Linux side of the basex community works.

My setup:
