I can't get his code to work.
The layers will not display.  Please help.  It's on XP, using JBuilder 9.

package testinglayers;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class layerDemo {
  public layerDemo() {
    JFrame jf = new JFrame("Layered Demo");
    JLabel lb = new JLabel("Testing");
    JLabel lb2 = new JLabel("Testing 2");
    JLayeredPane lp = new JLayeredPane();

    JLayeredPane lp2 = jf.getLayeredPane();
    lp2.setSize(new Dimension(200,200));

    jf.setBackground(Color.WHITE);

    lp2.enable();
    lp2.doLayout();
    lp2.setSize(new Dimension(400,400));
    lp2.add(lb, JLayeredPane.DEFAULT_LAYER);
    lp2.add(lb2, JLayeredPane.PALETTE_LAYER);

    lp2.setBackground(Color.PINK);
    lp2.show();

    lp2.validate();

    lp2.grabFocus();
    jf.setSize(new Dimension(500,500));
 //   lp2.setEnabled(true);
    lp2.setForeground(Color.BLUE);

    System.out.println("Size of Layer: " +lp2.getSize());
    System.out.println("Is Enable: " + lp2.isEnabled());

//    jf.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.WHITE);

  public static void main(String[] args) {

}

This is driving me crazy!!!!!
