javaw.exe crashes on creating JFrame

Question

I'm using eclipse on a windows 7 x64 to create a new Java Application.

This is my code:

import java.awt.EventQueue;


public class Testen {

    private JFrame frame;

    /**
     * Launch the application.
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                try {
                    Testen window = new Testen();
                    window.frame.setVisible(true);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        });
    }

    /**
     * Create the application.
     */
    public Testen() {
        initialize();
    }

    /**
     * Initialize the contents of the frame.
     */
    private void initialize() {
        System.out.println("1");
        frame = new JFrame();
        System.out.println("2");
        frame.setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }

}

My program is crashing on the line:

 frame = new JFrame();

It is not giving any error, it's just waiting a second or two, and then my application stops running.
In the event viewer I get this errors:

Does anybody has any idea on how to solve this? Or where should I start looking for a solution?

EDIT:

This works perfectly fine under linux. (Biggest difference is the java version)

Answer 1

Other java programs also had troubles on my machine..

A complete uninstall and reïnstall of all the java components fixed it. I guess I'll never know the real reason.. :-(

Answer 2

import java.awt.EventQueue;  
import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class Testen {

    private JFrame frame;

    /**
     * Launch the application.
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                try {
                    Testen window = new Testen();
                    window.frame.setVisible(true);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        });
    }

    /**
     * Create the application.
     */
    public Testen() {
        initialize();
    }

    /**
     * Initialize the contents of the frame.
     */
    private void initialize() {
        System.out.println("1");
        frame = new JFrame();
        System.out.println("2");
        frame.setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }

}

Answer 3

Nothing else except a missing import

import javax.swing.JFrame;
