IntelliJ form snapshot fails with exception - intellij-idea

Question

I created a simple project from scratch to test the form snapshot functionality.
The project has one source file and uses the defaults of File->New Project. The source is:
package com.company;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello");
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Title");
frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
frame.add(label,BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.setSize(400,300);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
}
I get the following exception when I try to take a snap shot:

I checked the box for "Enable capturing form snapshots" in the run configuration.
When I go to New->Form Snapshot I get this window:
When I click "Create Snapshot" I get the exception I mentioned above.
Any ideas why this is happening? I have IDEA 14.1.4. I ran "Check for Updates" to be sure there wasn't anything new for IDEA or the plugins.
