Hmm, I appear to be running into an odd problem here, that I believe I once solved, but for the life of me cannot remember. I have a JFrame, with a JPanel in it, and I attempt to add another JPanel to the existing JPanel. However, nothing shows up. I’ve placed with calling setVisible() & repaint(), but still a no go.
Anyone care to take a crack at this?
Here’s my code:
