Answer 1

The default layout manager for JFrame is BorderLayout.

This means that your components are essentially all been added ontop of each other.

Try changing the layout manager to something like FlowLayout (for example)...

Take a look at A Visual Guide to Layout Managers and Using Layout Managers for more details.

Also, avoid setSize where possible, use Window#pack instead

I'd also like to introduce you to Initial Threads which should be used to launch your UI code...
