Hi!

I have a very nice little editor that I would like to use in six more
places.

The code is currently sitting inside a JInternalFrame but all of the
important editor components are inside a single JPanel in the center of a
Borderlayout, which comprises the main part of the view.

The JPanel in question holds a JTabbedPane, which has two panels, where the
editing occurs.

My first attempt here was to create my own subclass MYPanel of JPanel and
move all the relevant code to that new class, but when I do that the
instance of MYPanel that is now created is invisible and of zero size.

The loading of the editor all works and I can open data and hear it arrive
and see the reactions of menu items and toolbar buttons but obviously I need
to do something in MYPanel to cause the JPanel it extends to gain size and
paint itself.

Are there any super() calls that I need to worry about in MYPanel?  To put
it another way, is Swing calling MYPanel to do something that MYPanel is
ignoring?

Thanks in advance for any advice or samples that you may have.

David
