Mortgage Calc - URGENT Help

[chadonline]

I am a student and was asked to write a mortgage calculator program using the GUI. I wrote it but it is giving me an error. I spent some time to debug it but I am not able to determine what's causing the problem.
Can you plese help to resolve my problem?

.java and . form are in the below directory.

Ok, I have gotten rid of the arrayIndex exception, I've moved some
variables up to class-level and fixed the logics in jButton1ActionPerformed.
I also put in a numeric validity check. I've had to replace your layout
with an XY-layout to make it compile on my system.

I noticed that you haven't added the radiobuttons to the buttongroup, but
I didn't do anything about it, since it seems to be within the realms of
your development tools auto generated code.

Btw, except for a thankyou, you owe me nada
