Sorry about the confusion....and thanks for the welcome!
I agree the Swing tutorial is a great place to start.
The Bunkhouse is another.

Sorry, the other thread was closed so I started another...

Short answer is that you have to add the JPanel to a top level container.

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/toplevel.html

code:


package BouncingBalls;

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

JPanel p = new JPanel();
p.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 400));
p.setVisible(true);

}

}




Simply, why the JPanel is not visible when running this. Nothing appears and there are no errors.

Thanks



ANSWER:

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

JFrame f = new JFrame("My Frame");
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(f.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

JPanel p = new JPanel();
p.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 400));

f.getContentPane().add(p);
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);

}

}

Killed my TV years ago too. I let my kids watch Dora DVDs though. Now if I can just get rid of XM Radio.

My HP Pavilion (XP SP2) laptop is a bear. It only sporadically wakes up from hibernation. I'm sure there's a probability algorithm involved here somehow.

Kayal,
When thinking about resale value, you have to think about what you would do. You're looking at this house and you're willing to overlook the stair thing. A potential buyer will most likely do the same. But, you may want to check if it meets building code for your area. Other than that, have fun in your new home!

Bad cop. No Donut.

Just don't buy a GM, Ford, Dodge. After all, you want the vehicle to outlast the payments.

I like both the Honda and Yoytota.

A: Three. Two to hold the ladder and one to hammer the bulb into a faucet.
