Java - java.lang.Error: SWT Resource was not properly disposed

Question

I am getting back into using the JAVA programming language. To reintroduce myself, I am writing a simple banking program with unit tests to adjust to the syntax. I am having trouble getting the code to compile as I am seeing an error I have not seen before.

I did a lot of research on Google and have yet to find a solution. Does anyone have an idea as to why I am getting this error twice in my error log?

I am using the Eclipse IDE. Here is my code:

BankAccount.java:

package simplebank;

public class BankAccount {

    private double balance;
    
    public BankAccount()
    {
        balance = 0;
    }
    
    public BankAccount(double initialBalance)
    {
        balance = initialBalance;
    }
    
    public double getBalance()
    {
        return balance;
    }
    
    boolean deposit(double amount)  
    {
        
        if(amount > 0 && balance - amount > 0)
        {   
            balance = balance + amount;
            return true; 
        }
        return false;
    }
    
    public boolean withdrawl(double amount)
    {
        if (amount > 0)
        {   
            balance = balance - amount;
            return true;
        }
        
        return false;
    }
    
    public boolean transfer(BankAccount transferTo, double amount)
    {
        
        if (amount > 0)
        {
            if(this.withdrawl(amount))
            {
                if(transferTo.deposit(amount))
                {
                    
                }
                else // Return bank account to normal 
                {
                    this.deposit(amount);
                    return false;
                }
            }   
            
            return true;
        }
        
        return false;
    }
    
}

BankAccountTest.java

package simplebank;

import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeAll;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

class BankAccountTest {

    BankAccount account1  = null;
    BankAccount account2 = null;
    @BeforeAll
    public void setup() {
        account1 = new BankAccount(20.00);
        account2 = new BankAccount();
    }
    
    @Test
    void testGetBalance() {
        assert(account1.getBalance() == 20.00);
    }

    @Test
    void testDeposit() {
        account1.deposit(20);
        assert(account1.getBalance() == 40.00);
    }

    @Test
    void testWithdrawl() {
        account1.withdrawl(10);
        assert(account1.getBalance() == 30.00);
    }

    @Test
    void testTransfer() {
        account1.transfer(account2, 10);
        assert(account1.getBalance() == 20.00);
        assert(account2.getBalance() == 10.00);
    }
}

As a side note, if anyone has any recommendations on how I could improve this simple code, please do leave your suggestions! I am just now getting back into JAVA so my style may not be the best.

Answer 1

In Eclipse 4.19 (2021-03) an API to track proper resource disposal has been added, see https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.19/platform_isv.php#resource-disposal-tracking

This is where these errors come from.

Try to set in your eclipse.ini from true to false -Dorg.eclipse.swt.graphics.Resource.reportNonDisposed=true to get rid of them. Not sure it will work.

Answer 2

After playing around with a variety of code examples, I changed my test file to contain the following code:

package simplebank;

import org.junit.jupiter.api.AfterEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

import junit.framework.ComparisonFailure;

class BankAccountTest {
    BankAccount account1  = null;
    BankAccount account2 = null;
    
    @BeforeEach
    void setUp() throws Exception {
        account1 = new BankAccount(20.00);
        account2 = new BankAccount();
    }

    @AfterEach
    void tearDown() throws Exception {
        account1 = null;
        account2 = null;
    }

    @Test
    void testGetBalance() {
        assert(account1.getBalance() == 20.00);
    }
    
    void testDeposit() {
        account1.deposit(20);
        assert(account1.getBalance() == 40.00);
    }
    
    @Test
    void testWithdrawl() {
        account1.withdrawl(10);
        assert(account1.getBalance() == 10.00);
    }
    
    @Test
    void testTransfer() {
        account1.transfer(account2, 10);
        assert(account1.getBalance() == 10.00);
        assert(account2.getBalance() == 10.00);
    }
}

It now compiles and runs all tests. The difference is I now user @BeforeEach and @AfterEach instead of @BeforeAll. The other difference is also the fact that each before and after function includes a throws Exception in the declaration. I have not tried it with the @BeforeAll function with the throw Exception added as the @BeforeEach suited my purpose. My best guess is that the absence of the "throws Exception" statement was causing the above error. I hope this helps someone else resolve this issue in the future.
