Do you mean "nested in" when you write "covering"?  (If you are
really covering, then you are doing something which is pretty 
strange.)

Can't really say without seeing the code.  Assuming it
was generated by JBuilder's Designer, why not post
just the "jbInit()" code for the ___simplest___ case
of this not working?  Meaning, post code which contains 
no other UI elements, etc. in the method.  (Good diagnosis/
debugging strategies start from the simplest and work toward 
the more complex examples.)
