I am adding a JPanel to the content pane of my app, but its not showing up when i run the application. Its just a grey blank box with a title bar. I dont understand why, i think ive done it like this before and its worked. :mad:

import swing and awt...
declare public class called PokerGUI {...
declare JButtons and such....

// constructor
void PokerGUI() {

infoPanel = new JPanel();
infoPanel.setLayout( new BoxLayout(infoPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS) );

// add the account name information
acntNameLabel = new JLabel("Account Name");
accountNameTF = new JTextField("Jon Anthony");
infoPanel.add( acntNameLabel );
infoPanel.add( accountNameTF );

// add the email address information
emailLabel = new JLabel("Email");
emailTF = new JTextField("MillionDollorMan@microsoft.net");
infoPanel.add( emailLabel );
infoPanel.add( emailTF );

// add the street address information
addressLabel = new JLabel("Address");
addressTF = new JTextField("142 Wood St, Sunburn CT, 09432");
infoPanel.add( addressLabel );
infoPanel.add( addressTF );


// add to contentPane
Container contentPane = getContentPane();
contentPane.setLayout( new FlowLayout() );
contentPane.add(infoPanel);
}

// main method
public static void main(String[] args) {
PokerGUI pk = new PokerGUI();
pk.setVisible(true);
pk.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}

someone please tell me what i forgot lol, im coming back to java from a long C++ project, and i guess i forgot how to use swing. :/
