Repainting Continuously in Java

Question

I have a Java program that uses threads. In my run method, I have:

public void run() {
    while(thread != null){
        repaint();
        System.out.print         


        

Answer 1

You have to call paint(g) for a heavy-weight container such as a JFrame. You call paintComponent(g) for light-weight containers like a JButton. See if that works.
