    Default Blank JFrame

    Hey guys,

    I am having a problem with my code as it displays a blank JFrame to me whereas it should display a button.

    The initialization code stands as follows:
                    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    		Canvas canvas = new Canvas();
    		canvas.setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
    		frame.setResizable(false);
    		frame.addWindowFocusListener(new WindowAdapter() {
    			@Override
    			public void windowGainedFocus(WindowEvent e) {
    				canvas.requestFocusInWindow();
    			}
    		});
    		frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
    			@Override
    			public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
    				closeRequested = true;
    			}
    		});
    		frame.add(canvas);
                    try {
    			Display.setParent(canvas);
    			Display.setDisplayMode(new DisplayMode(WIDTH, HEIGHT));
     
    			frame.pack();
    			frame.setVisible(true);
     
    			Display.create();
    		} catch (LWJGLException e) {
    			e.printStackTrace();
    		}

    The above code creates the JFrame as well as the LWJGL display.

    At some point during the program, the following method is called:

                    public void craft(){
    			JButton button = new JButton("Exit");
    	        button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    	            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
    	                STATE = GAME;
    	                remove();
    	                frame.getRootPane().revalidate();
    	            }
    	        });
    	        frame.add(button);
    			frame.getRootPane().revalidate();
    		}

    AS a result nothing is displayed on the JFrame.

    I have tested that the method does in fact run and has no errors in completing it, as well as altered the frame.getRootPane().revalidate(); to frame.revalidate(); with no success.
    The only success I have had was due to me changing the frame.add(button); to frame.add(button, BlockLayout.Center); which results in the buttons filling the screen, I am not sure where to proceed from here in terms of getting this to work.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks

    Can you post a small complete program that compiles, executes and shows the problem?
