This is very old bug. It seems to be limited to JVM and/or GUI.
I could not reproduce it with current version and there is no further information, thus I am closing it.
Feel free to reopen if you have more information.

I experience the same problem with Uppaal versions 4.0 and 4.1. I tried them on 3 different computers, installed the newest Java version, but I keep getting the same error. 

Could you help me with that?

Cumhur,
I need to be able to reproduce the problem and I can't, so I am just guessing.

I need to know the precise version of Uppaal, Java and Windows.

Try it from command line:
1) start cmd.exe, 

2) visit the uppaal directory with "cd c:\uppaal-4.1.19" (or whatever the path is)
Does the installation path is on a local drive or network?
Does the installation path contain spaces or other special characters?

3) start uppaal: "java -jar uppaal.jar" -- post the errors here

4) inspect the java version: "java -version" -- post the result here

5) list the content of installation directory and post the result here (check if the freehep*jar libraries are there):
dir 
dir lib

Got some new information from yahoogroup that the symptoms are specific to Turkish locale.
Some googling revealed that the letter 'i' is upper-cased to a completely different letter under Turkish locale than in English (as most other locales do).
Some information can be found here:
http://mattryall.net/blog/2009/02/the-infamous-turkish-locale-bug


Subsequently all the naive up-casing code (using system default locale) is broken.
In particular SwiXML library breaks when converting checkboxmenuitem, and the old FreeHEP library was probably guilty of converting 'gif' into 'GIF' naively.

A workaround is to change the system locale to English.

The proper fix is to use English locale explicitly when manipulating system/library specific strings.
