JavaFX Chart - Java.lang.IllegalArgumentException : Duplicate series added

I'm using clear() method for removing data from chart.
#FXML
public void restartButtonClicked() {
System.out.println("Restarting...");
timeLine.getKeyFrames().clear();
axesTest.getData().clear();
}
In this function, but once button get clicked - it works.. but second time while I am gonna click it, it throw exception :

So the problem is in 138 line as well as in 159 line of code from method :
#SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
#FXML
public void startButtonClicked(ActionEvent event) {
if (comboBox.getValue() == null) {
System.out.print("Nie wybrano opcji.");
} else {
if(comboBox.getValue().equals("Gaussian Wave : non-Dispersive")) {
System.out.println("Gaussian Wave : non-Dispersive");
axesTest.setTitle("Gaussian Wave : non-Dispersive");
series.setName("bla");
series1.setName("ssad");
series2.setName("asf");
seriesList.add(series);
seriesList.add(series1);
seriesList.add(series2);
timeLine = new Timeline();
gaussianWave = new GaussianWave( seriesList, axes, timeLine );
seriesList = gaussianWave.draw();
gaussianWave.update(axesTest);
axesTest.getData().retainAll();
axesTest.getData().addAll(seriesList);
} else if(comboBox.getValue().equals("Gaussian Wave : Dispersive")) {
System.out.println("Gaussian Wave : Dispersive");
axesTest.setTitle("Gaussian Wave : Dispersive");
series.setName("bla");
series1.setName("ssad");
series2.setName("asf");
seriesList.add(series);
seriesList.add(series1);
seriesList.add(series2);
timeLine = new Timeline();
gaussianWaveDispersive = new GaussianWaveDispersive( seriesList, axes, timeLine );
seriesList = gaussianWaveDispersive.draw();
gaussianWaveDispersive.update(axesTest);
axesTest.getData().retainAll();
axesTest.getData().addAll(seriesList);
}
}
}
and the problem is in :
axesTest.getData().addAll(seriesList);
Why do I get this exception after clearing all of data from the chart ? How could I fix this?

You clear the ObservableList stored in the dataProperty of the Series:
axesTest.getData().clear();
but you use an intermediate list(?) called seriesList, rather than adding Data directly:
seriesList.add(series);
seriesList.add(series1);
seriesList.add(series2)
...
axesTest.getData().addAll(seriesList);
The problem is you don't clear seriesList before adding the elements, so it contains the elements on the second click twice, which will result in an IllegalArgumentException.
Actually I don't know what happens here:
gaussianWave = new GaussianWave( seriesList, axes, timeLine );
seriesList = gaussianWave.draw();
but it seems that seriesList contains the previous Data objects after these lines.

Class.forName() throws ClassNotFoundException

So this is my first time posting, please be gentle :3
General overview:
My goal is to be able to give my program a XSD file, then the program generates a bean, generates a nice GUI using reflection on the bean, then I can enter appropriate values into the textfields and then the program updates the bean with the values and finally marshalls the bean into a nice XML.
It's coming along pretty good, but yesterday I stumbled over an error that I can't figure out..

String xsdDir = xsd.getParentFile().getAbsolutePath();

return beanClass;

So I checked first if the beanBinaryName is correct, and I think it is. It has the following format:
com.foo.foo.some.more.foo.beanbag.bean
Then I started googling with the error message and stumbled accross this post:
Link to the blog
But to be honest I didn't really understand what he was trying to explain. The stacktrace looks similar, but I just started with java a few months ago and still consider myself a newbie. Do you have any advice what the error might be? Thank in advance!
EDIT / SOLUTION:
My first mistake was trying to use class.forName() on a .java file. This only works with compiled files, e.g. .class.
After I fixed that i was still getting error messages, but after playing around with the URLClassLoader it worked :D I renamed and refactored this method compared to the method at the top, so in this one we really only get the class, while in my first example I also generate the .java files. I now do this in a seperate method to keep things organized.
public Class getClassFromBean() {
File[] fList = new File[3];
fList = new File("foo/beanbag").listFiles();
Class beanClass = null;
for (File file : fList) {
String lastSix = file.getName().toString().substring(file.getName().length() - 6);
if (".class".equals(lastSix)) {
String beanBinaryName = "foo.beanbag."
+ file.getName().toString().substring(0, file.getName().toString().length() - 6);
try {
File root = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/src/main/java");
URLClassLoader classLoader = URLClassLoader.newInstance(new URL[] { root.toURI()
.toURL() });
beanClass = Class.forName(beanBinaryName, true, classLoader);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException | MalformedURLException e) {
Gui.errorPopUp(e);
}
return beanClass;
}
}
return beanClass;
}

Method Class.forName() works only for compiled classes i.e. for files with extension '.class'. You cannot just put '.java' file to your classpath.

Convert vertex label value of the jgraph to array of strings

Basically I have this code to print the cell label of each vertex I click of the jgraph. I am trying to store the values of the cells into a string array. I have tried this:
graphComponent.getGraphControl().addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
ArrayList<Object> objarr = new ArrayList<Object>() ;
if (e.getButton() == 3 && e.getClickCount() == 1) {
long x = e.getX();
long y = e.getY();
Object cell = graphComponent.getCellAt((int) x, (int)y);
System.out.println(graph.convertValueToString(cell));
objarr.add(cell);
}
String[] stringArray = objarr.toArray(new String[100]) ;
}
});
}
I get these errors when i try to click a vertex:

Here is the process to resolve such a problem.
at java.util.ArrayList.toArray(Unknown Source)
at GUIquery$2.mousePressed(GUIquery.java:498)`
Line 498 must be
String[] stringArray = objarr.toArray(new String[100]) ;
Check ArrayList documentation for <T> T[] toArray(T[] a)
When called this tries to store ArrayList<Object> members of type Object in a String[]. So it gave an ArrayStoreException. The root of the problem is that the computer has no idea what type cell is. You declared is as an Object, so that's its type. If getCellAt() returns strings, use String cell.
As a note that is not an elegant solution here, if you had an Object obj_str that you knew was a String, you could cast it with
String str = (String)obj_str;

How to get the selected row from table model?

How to get the selected row from table model?
I tried the following....
checkBoxes[t].addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
int index = -1;
for (int i = 0; i < checkBoxes.length; i++) {
if (checkBoxes[i] == e.getSource()) {
String Status=null ;
DbUtility ViewAbsenties=new DbUtility();
ViewAbsenties.loadDriver();
ViewAbsenties.connect();
TableModel tm;
tm = table3.getModel();
if (checkBoxes[i].isSelected() == true) {
Status =(String) tm.getValueAt(i,8);
System.out.println("Status : " + Status );
}
}
}
}
}
when i run the above code, iam getting the following error.

there are three potential issues
JTables view could be Sorted or Filtered then you have to convertRowIndexToModel
Array(s) started with zero (getValue(0, 0) is 1st. row from 1st. column)
have to set javax.swing.ListSelectionModel properly or determine all selected rows
for better help sooner post an SSCCE

Getting NotSerializableException on a serializable object

Basically, I've written a program that paints shapes onto the screen, and saves each of the shapes into an ArrayList. What I want to do is figure out how to save the ArrayList to a file, so that I can call it back up later and edit the already existing shapes.
So I've been having some trouble figuring out why exactly I keep getting a NotSerializableException when I made the object Shape serializable already.
Below is the save portion of my code, and the Shape object.
save.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
int returnVal = fc.showSaveDialog(BallWorld.this);
if(returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION){

try{

oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
oos.writeObject(list);
oos.close();
}

}
}
}
});

To avoid NotSerializableException make sure:
your class implements Serializable
all non primitive members implement Serializable (or are transient instead)
if your class is an inner class it's either static or the outer class implements
Serializable
Besides that you also need to define serialVersionUID for every Serializable class. Check all 3 cases above plus:
all Serializable superclasses
if your class is an anonymous class, define it there too
Note: your code may work without serialVersionUID sometimes but read the last paragraph in Serializable's javadoc to understand why it will be a problem depending on the environment.
There's a VM option to add details to the exception. It shows the root and nested classes failing to serialize:
-Dsun.io.serialization.extendedDebugInfo=true

Based on the call you are making to repaint() in Shape, I'm guessing that it is in inner class. It therefore has a hidden variable referencing its enclosing instance. It will try to serialize that object along with itself. Is the outer class serializable? Or better yet, could Shape be made into an ordinary top-level class?
