 Lori,
 
 my idea was (and maybe I'm compleately wrong)
 to store a reference to an existing TextPane
 'somewhere', to make it accessable to diferent
 clases. My controller has the following methods
 for 'storing' and 'retrieving' the reference,
 but even the 'set' produces the mentioned error.
 Here follows the code for both methods.
 
 
 public class UIController {
 
 ....
 
  public void setTextPane(JTextPane pane) {
    TextPane = pane;
  }

  public JTextPane getTextPane() {
    return TextPane;
  }
  
  ....
  }
  
  Similar code works for passing around references
  of, for example, trees, treenodes and treemodels.
  I dont understand why it does'nt work with panes.
  Is it posible that the pane is not really initialized 
  till put into a type of container?
