Question

I have a class which extends a JPanel. Code below:

public class Test extends JPanel implements Testnterface {
    private JScrollPane listScroller;

    DefaultListModel model;
    private JList requestList;    
    public Test() {

        String title = "Stackoverflow Question";
        setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(title));
        model = new DefaultListModel();
     requestList = new JList(); // create a list
        listScroller = new JScrollPane(requestList); // create a scrollbar to the list
        listScroller.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 80));

        setLayout(null);
        add(listScroller); // even though I add the scrollPane, nothing is displayed   
    }
 }

I updated the code. I can’t seem to get my JScrollPane to be displayed on my JPanel even though I add it. Anyone got any ideas?

I had the same issue and solved it by wrapping scroll pane with JPanel:

final JScrollPane jScrollPane = new JScrollPane(list,
     JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED,
     JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);

final JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout(BORDER_SIZE, BORDER_SIZE));
panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(BORDER_SIZE, BORDER_SIZE, 
      BORDER_SIZE, BORDER_SIZE));

panel.add(jScrollPane);
