I'm making use of the following class for accessing information that's on the clipboard because the sikuli method (env.getClipboard) only works once in a while. However, I also get the error that's shown below when I use the java class. Any assistance on how to overcome this will be much appreciated:

Using: Sikuli-r830

Class:
public static String getClipboard() {
		    Transferable t = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().getContents(null);
		    try {
		      if (t != null && t.isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor.stringFlavor)) {
		        String text = (String) t.getTransferData(DataFlavor.stringFlavor);

		        return text;
		      }
		    } catch (Exception e) {
		    }
		    return "";
		  }

Error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: cannot open system clipboard
	at sun.awt.windows.WClipboard.openClipboard(Native Method)
	at sun.awt.datatransfer.ClipboardTransferable.<init>(Unknown Source)
	at sun.awt.datatransfer.SunClipboard.getContents(Unknown Source)

The error only occurs if I try to run another iteration right after the first one is complete
