Get the above error sometimes after doing a simple split. Split a list with two elements. element 0 is always available, attempting to access element 1 throws the error. Only seems to happen when you use a number as the index. works if you do it in a loop, see below example. I haven't tried compiling against javac since this is really straight forward code. OF five places in the class where this is being done, it fails in three of them. I have tried split and stringTokenizer and where it fails, it fails for both. 

                        String parent="";
                        String test="";
			String dep = "35,==1";

			if (!dep.equals("")) {// found a dependency
				String[] Q = dep.split("\\,");

                                parent = Q[0]; // always works
                                test   = Q[1];// Fails depending on location in class

// The code below always works, proving that the split WAS accomplished

				for (int j = 0; j < Q.length; j++) {
					if (j == 0) {
						parent = Q[j];
					}

					if (j == 1) {
						test = Q[j];
					}
				}
