Starting up jTracert using 'Connect' button throws stack trace

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start my application with -javaagent: parameter
2. Start jTracert with right port and localhost, click 'Connect'
3. Exception thrown on the application window

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I do not expect any error thrown on the application window. But a huge 
stacktrace is generated in the background

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? What JRE 
are you using (vendor and version) ?
 Win7 JDK 1.6.0_32

Please provide any additional information below.
