SetLookAndFeel () provides NullPointerException if I use JTable

I have JFrame

two panels. And I install UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName())

in a class that extends JFrame

. This works well for both panels. If I'm not in it JTable

. But if I add JTable

to any panel, then going to that panel will give me NullPointerException

like below.

So what is the problem, I need to set something for JTable

also

EDIT: I figured out that the problem is not with the JTable, but with the tableCellRenderer. I am adding tableRenderer as shown below

public class Frame extends JFrame
{
public void initialize()
{
    try
    {
        UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
    }
    catch (ClassNotFoundException | InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException | UnsupportedLookAndFeelException e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    JPanel panel1 = new JPanel();
    panel1.add(new JLabel("Panel1"));
    JPanel panel2 = new JPanel();
    JTable table = new JTable(2,2);
    table.getColumnModel().getColumn(1).setCellRenderer(new CheckBoxRenderer()); // Adding this renderer creates me problem
    JScrollPane jScrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);
    jScrollPane.setSize(100, 100);
    panel2.add(jScrollPane);
    JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
    tabbedPane.addTab("Panel1", panel1);
    tabbedPane.addTab("Panel2", panel2);
    add(tabbedPane);
    setSize(400, 400);
    setVisible(true);
}

class CheckBoxRenderer implements TableCellRenderer
{
    JCheckBox   check   = new JCheckBox();

    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object obj, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column)
    {
        if (row != 0 && obj instanceof Boolean)
        {
            check.setSelected((Boolean) obj);
            return check;
        }
        return null;
    }
}

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    Frame frame = new Frame();
    frame.initialize();
}

 }

      

        
        
        
      

    

So this is giving me a NullPointerException. And if I remove the setCellRenderer line it works fine. Can someone help me.

EDIT2: Googling I found this NullPointerException at javax.swing.plaf.synth.SynthContext.getPainter .

And if I do UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel");

that works great. But I am using Ubuntu OS so I need the GTK look and feel. So I did UIManager.setLookAndFeel("ccom.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel");

, but this again gives me an exception. I cannot figure out what is wrong here. I learned about these packages from the actual implementationgetSystemLookAndFeelClassName()
