Hi Audrius,
I am not a swing expert but I suggest you to add a beanshell console to your
game. That way you can inspect the variables (even private stuff) at runtime.
That could help to describe an erroneous state more easily.

Btw: One can live debug such application with BshBot. You do not even need ot
make any changes to your program. Just add all the appropriate jars and
directories (the things the application needs and the other stuff for bshbot)
into the classpath and start the fun.

The run a command like this:
cl = Class.forName("mainclass of your application");
cl.main(new String[] { "whatever", "you", "need", "here" });

With

setAccessibility(true);

one can switch of access checks to private, package-private and protected stuff.
This is great to inspect variables and/or call internal methods.

BshBot source code is now permanently available on my universities account:
