Swing Problem

Hi there

I have a problem with the following program:

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;

import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class SwingTest {

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
JComponent comp1 = new Filler(Color.RED);
JComponent comp2 = new Filler(Color.BLUE);

frame.setSize(100, 100);
frame.getContentPane().add(comp1);

frame.setVisible(true);

Thread.sleep(100);

frame.getContentPane().remove(0);
frame.getContentPane().add(comp2);

frame.repaint();
}

}

class Filler extends JComponent {

private Color c;

public Filler(Color c) {
this.c = c;
}

public void paint(Graphics g){
g.setColor(c);
g.fillRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
}
}

I would expect it to display a frame which is initially filled with red,
and changes to blue after some time elapsed. It does change to
background-color, though. What am i doing wrong?

The blue rectangle is there, waiting to be drawn; it just needs a
reason: resizing the window, calling frame.setVisible(true); calling
validate(); etc.

See "Painting in AWT and Swing" by Amy Fowler in the Java API
documentation.
