        {
            try
            {
            IManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.lang.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel");

        //row 2
        JPanel row2 = new JPanel();
        JButton one = new JButton("1");
        JButton two = new JButton("2");
        JButton three = new JButton("3");
        JButton four = new JButton("4");

        //row3
        JPanel row3 = new JPanel();
        JButton plus = new JButton("+");
        JButton subtract = new JButton("-");
        JButton multiply = new JButton("*");
        JButton equals = new JButton("=");

        public static void main(String[] args)

Answer 1

Remember to add all of the components (i.e row2, row3 etc..)

Example:

add(row2,BorderLayout.CENTER)
add(row3,BorderLayout.SOUTH)
