I have to resize my JFrame for the contents to show up. How can i fix that?

Question

When I run my gui, I have to resize the window for everything to show up. Does someone know what the problem is?

Answer 1

The setBounds() method will resize and reposition a Window. however you might want to look at the way your components are laid out if pack() isn't working (I believe it relies on minimum/preferred sizes of components).
