Java APIs

I am getting an java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: No such child: # (where # is a number usually 0, 5, or 10). The program runs fine, and this error does not seem to cause any problems; however, I would like to either know if there is a patch for this error or if someone knows a work around. I would like my program to run cleanly, so if anyone could help, I would be much appreciative. I read some where that this stems from the GridBagLaout. Is this true?

Here is the trace that I receive with the error:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: No such child: 5
