I'm working on a Java application in Eclipse, and have been getting an error message every time I try to run it on my computer. When I run it on a different computer, it works perfectly. When the error is produced, the GUI displays correctly, but nothing else functions (e.g. KeyListener). I have worked on other projects on the same two computers, and I have never encountered the error (shown below):

This is caused by badly implemented comparators. While earlier JREs
tolerated this silently, it now fails in JRE 1.7. You probably use
different JREs on those two computers. The bug is in the JRE itself. For
details see:
