JTabbedPane NullPointerException

I create a JTabbedPane in a JFrame using netbeans visual creator. And build a JPanel also. When I add that JPanel as a tab I got the following error. Sometimes it doesn't occur. 

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException

This is the code to add JPanel as a Tab.

 jTabbedPane2.addTab("Swimmer",new SwimmerPanel());

What is the error?

You probably didn't initialized the JTabbedPane :

JTabbedPane jTabbedPane2 = new JTabbedPane();
