I am using the following code to create a very simple JFrame, but for some reason it doesn\'t show any components, just a blank frame. Why is this happening? I
JFrame
Better your first add components to your variable "panel" and add then your finished panel to the .getContentPane().add().
.getContentPane().add()
And the most important issue is that you better call frame.setVisible(true); at the end of your method.
frame.setVisible(true);
