I would have preferred to leave this as a comment but as I do not have the reputation I couldn't. I realise this is also a very late response but don't know if you have found the answer or not. I came across this while googling for an answer myself.

I also believe that this error is unrelated to the code but is rather an error created by NetBeans. I found the same code compiled and ran fine in NetBeans on one machine but not the on the other where I had first encountered the error.

The solution for me was to close NetBeans, clear the NetBeans cache and restart NetBeans. I was using version 8.0 and the location of the cache for me is:
