im trying to move my debugging output from system.out.println() to the frame i made with the awt that already has some buttons and things in it. so every time i do something, im trying to do this.add(label) to tell me that what i expect is being done is being done. but when i add lables, they dont show up until i resize the window, and then it shows up horizontally to the left and vertically centered. so i figure, the other stuff in the window is hiding it, so i try setSize(200,200) in the constructor. But that didnt even resize the window! now, i have to resize the window to 400 pixels vertically to see the text show up, as if all it did was make a big white block of size 200x200 that hides my new lables! whats the right way to move my debugging to this frame?
