If I have a class that extends JPanel, why am I only allowed to create JButton objects in the constructor of this base class and not in other methods of the class?
To be more clear, creating and adding buttons shows no changes in the actual window.

Ikopar, can't you do it with the this.add()?

[Ikopar]

i just have an inner class that calls add() directly.

[Lusis Backwood JR]

Add on the base class?

[Ikopar]

The base class extends JPanel, and the performs add() in the inner class of the base class.

Ikopar: i don't know wtf you just said

[Ikopar]

Right, let me rephrase that.
The base class, FOO, extends JPanel. inside the base class I have an inner class which calls the add() function of the base class, FOO.
