How to debug when you can't recreate error consistently

I have a simple illustrator-type application in which I draw rounded rectangles to a JPanel and then the user is able to move them around (the position and repaint is done in via the mouseDragged interface.
Sometimes, the application shuts down when I am dragging a box with this message:
# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x6d236a0c, pid=3400, tid=2716
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.5.0_07-b03 mixed mode, sharing)
# Problematic frame:
# C [dcpr.dll+0x6a0c]
# An error report file with more information is saved as hs_err_pid3400.log
# If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:
# http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp
I checked the error report and it suggests the problem is within the PathFiller.WriteAlpha. The entire report is below. The problem I have is that if I restart the application and place boxes in the exact same locations as before, and try moving the one that caused the error, the error is not thrown.
I have no idea how to debug this as I can't even consistently reproduce. I just upgraded to the newest JDK (I think it was 7).
Thanks for any insight and help you can offer.

  • How to decrypt data when you can't get the private key in Windows?

    I'm very confuse. My english is poor, but I try to say my question clearly.
    When browser connects to a https website which needs client certificate to authenticate the identity, the browser will send client certificate to web server.
    Then the web server will use the certificate to encrypt some data and send it to browser.
    Then broswer should have private key to decrypt that.
    But as I know, if I install a pfx format personal certificate, I can set can't export private key, which means you can't get the private key to use it. So how can
    the browser decrypt the data without private key?
    By the way, what is CSP, use CSP's interface can we use CryptoAPI
    to decrypt data without private key?

    Answer for question is  "you cant"..

    The old rule of thumb was to keep 10-12 GB free. Any lower than that and you will start to have trouble. I was very close to that for a long time and never had any complaints. Now, Lion "encourages" 20% free space (on my newer 250 GB drive) so I try to keep it with more than 50 GB free.
    Do you still have the original memory in that machine too? The metal plate you have to remove in the battery compartment also provides access to the RAM. Your machine will take 2 GB of RAM, possibly 3. You definitely want to max that out too.
    Regardless, you definitely need a new hard drive. When Apple switched to PC components, they had to take a quality hit. These 2.5" notebook hard drives are not very reliable. I'm surprised your hard drive hasn't died by now. I usually get a new hard drive with every major OS upgrade. A $ 50 investment every couple of years is no big deal.
    Unfortunately, you (and I) suffer from being an early adopter in 2006. Those 32-bit machines only accept 2 GB RAM (maybe 3) and are only 32-bit so they can't be upgraded to Lion. Because of this limitation, you won't see as dramatic an improvement as you would with a 2007 machine. If you run more than a couple of applications, your hard drive is always going to have to be doing some VM work. My 2006 machine has even lost its bluetooth. I gave it to my brother. My very similar 2007 Macbook is still running great.
    So, you must get a new hard drive because your old one is likely on death's door. If you don't have at least 2 GB - get it. If you can't afford a new machine, you might want to consider an SSD. That might help mitigate your RAM limitations. You can spend from $ 100 to $ 350 and get a dramatic speed improvement.

  • How do you remove an apple id when you can not contact the previous user?

    I am working with a local Pawn shop that purchased an ipad from an indavidual. They restored the ipad and apparently, the contact info from the user is bogus. So, is there any way to get the apple id removed when you can not contact the previous owner? I have the serial number and any other info that may be needed.

    No, there is no way to remove the previous user ID. If the previous owners information was bogus the iPad is likely stolen.

  • Do you still need EJB when you can do it all with JSF/JSC?

    I think EJBs make J2EE unnecessarily complex for 80% of small to mid or even some large scale applications. When you can separate the logic and view using JSF and Servlets, and still do transactions (using JSC DataProviders), why do you still need EJBs? I have heard nightmares with EJBs deployment and how its complex to move them over from test to production servers.
    Are EJBs getting obsolete and not worth learning? Afterall, in the Microsoft world, there is nothing like EJB and all they got is ASP.NET (similar to JSF) -- along with its associated data classes and .NEt framework. I am sure they also promote separating logic from presentation.
    I think JSF is the best thing Java world has got to compete with Microsoft on developer productivity for small to medium size applications.

    J2EE EJB's are far from being a holy grial capable of solving any situation. They are complex, difficult to learn and code, but we need to be fair and tell the whole story.
    EJB's are part of the J2EE technology and offer infrastructure needed in complex applications. I.E., you mention
    "When you can separate the logic and view using JSF and Servlets, and still do transactions (using JSC DataProviders)"
    but these are only database level transactions. The J2EE app servers can handle global (and distributed) transactions involving different operations over different databases and transactions ruled by non-database software. Just imagine the complexity of handling a "rollback" of this kind. Put that in .NET pipe and try to smoke it.
    J2EE EJB Entity Beans were the black sheep of the family. They were oriented to easily handle fine operations (i.e. update a specific record of information) but on the other hand present a poor performance in operations over large sets of data. You can do some optimizations but..... Now the story is a bit different with JavaEE 5 and the Java Persistence API -inspired on Hibernate-.
    The bottom line is (as you mention in your post): J2EE/JavaEE are not needed by most of small or mid sized apps. However, I would strongly encourage you to have a look at the JavaEE 5 technology. The fact that portions of the JavaEE technology do not have a counterpart in .NET does not mean that they are not worth to (at least) have a look at them.

  • Can you save photos when you can't remember your passcode?

    From a Kappy  post
    The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
       1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
    Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
    bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
    'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
    ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
    phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
    2.  Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
    3.  Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
    A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

  • Is there a way to delete an app when you can't see the app's icon?

    Is there a way to delete an app when you can't see the app's icon? I have so many apps that they don't all show up on the existing screens. I know it can be done by connecting to a computer and using iTunes, but I'm on the road away from my Mac.

    I tried that and instead of showing me the inaccessible screens, it just shortens the number of available screens. Then if I reset the home screen in preferences it removes the folders I created and I'm back to square one.

  • Is it possible to send an automated message to answer when you can't put yours hand on your phone ?

    Read this now : I would like to have an answering machine for my Message app, meaning I'd love if Messages could just answer back to any incoming message when I'm just not able to message back (i.e. : I don't have my phone with me, I'm working and not able to use my phone, etc.).
    Maybe this is already possible ? Is it ?
    Thanks for your answers.
    I know there's a feature that allows you to send a message batck to a caller when you can't answer, but, 1) you have to do something and 2) it's not automated...
    my iphone is an iphone 6 plus with IOS 8.1 and 128G°

    Oops! I hit "Correct Answer" thinking that I could edit my last reply! That wasn't the correct answer, obviously!
    iTunes has replied to me and told me that I cannot download any artwork outside of the USA, so I guess that answers my question, even though it's not what I'd wished to hear.
