NullPointerException on MapContainer of GoogleMaps Lib

[diamondobama]

Create an app and add the GoogleMaps extension.

Create a simple form with a MapContainer

MapContainer googleMap = new MapContainer();
form.add(CENTER, googleMap);

It throws the following exception:

Make sure to add the JavaScript key for google maps.

[diamondobama]

I added the key. I excluded it above for simplicity.

I must mention that the Exception started showing last Friday.

[shai-almog]

Did you pass it in the constructor too?

[diamondobama]

Yes, I did. The app was working fine until last Friday. The exception seems related to the BrowserComponent.

I'm guessing the CEF change broke that: https://www.codenameone.com/blog/big-changes-jcef.html
Make sure you either use CEF or use a VM that includes JavaFX in it.

[diamondobama]

Yes, that's the issue. MapContainer is now showing.

Below StackTrace might be of use to you or @shannah, especially the non-intrusive exception part.
