without this
contentPane.setLayout(null);

my layout of the rest of my gui goes funny

--- Update ---

ive solved it, just needed to set the bounds.

use the existing layout.

i thought i need to add another layout because the label wouldnt show

public class game extends JFrame{

private JLabel greeting;

public static void main(String[] args) {

new game();

}

I am trying to add a label to my gui, i am using the following code but it is not showing.

Can some one tell what i am doing wrong please




contentPane = this.getContentPane(); ...
