When I execute this code it gives me the Exception Glthread 8 Java.lang.null.pointer

MouseJointDef md = new MouseJointDef();  
md.bodyA = _body;
md.bodyB = _body;
md.target.set(locationWorld);
md.collideConnected = true;
md.maxForce = 1000.0f * _body.getMass();

_mouseJoint =  (MouseJoint) _world.createJoint(md);
_body.setAwake(true);

Thanks.

    \$\begingroup\$ Have you stepped through the code in a debugger to see which variable is null? \$\endgroup\$

This is a case of "give a man a fish/teach a man to fish". You should learn to use the debugger to figure this problem out yourself.

Here is a good place to start:

and you can find more here:

the google

FWIW as your code stands, the most likely perpetrator are md.target, _body and _world.
