Why does this code generate IllegalArgumentExceptionwhen the toolbar is pulled out of the GUI and then closed (to return it to the GUI)?
I could understand why it would be wrong to add a component without restrictions, but in this case the initial addition of a toolbar to a panel (which uses GridBagLayout) without limitation does not cause such a problem. Why should this happen with the second and subsequent addition of time?
The code is adapted from this answer , but both codes show the same problem.
code
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class GridBagToolBarOddity {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
JPanel gui = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
JToolBar tb = new JToolBar();
tb.add(new JLabel("Drag me off, then drop me back!"));
gui.add(tb);
gui.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300, 100));
gui.setBackground(Color.RED);
JFrame f = new JFrame("Demo");
f.add(gui);
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
f.setLocationByPlatform(true);
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);
}
};
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(r);
}
}
