It does not print message to screen

[eejay]

Hey Developers,

Today is my first day trying to write a Java Application. I have a book that
somewhat walks me through the initial process. However, after I typed in
the code that was listed in the book it does not print the, "HelloJava" message
to the screen. They have a screen shots in the book showing the small app
should look like. My app looks exactly like it expect for the fact that it
doesn't print the message. The code is as follows:

public class HelloJava1 extends javax.swing.JComponent {

public static void main(String[] args) {
javax.swing.JFrame f = new javax.swing.JFrame("HelloJava1");
f.setSize(300, 300);
f.getContentPane().add(new HelloJava1( ));
f.setVisible(true);
}

public void paintComponent(java.awt.Graphics g) {
g.drawString("Hello, Java!", 125, 95);
}
}

Thanks in advance for your responses,
eejay

emmm it really should work if you have set up your environment correctly and
it compiles with not problem. That is a really poor example and perhaps you
should look for another book, you dont want to start learning the wrong way.
While the way your example creates a frame is not a very popular way of doing
it, it also doesnt add a WindowListener to the frame so you cant close the
opened frame the right way.

Good Luck,
Ako

Just a correction of what i said, by saying the way your example creates a
frame is not a very popular way of so i mean you dont need to have a class
that extends JComponent there are easier ways of achieving the same result
but the line where the JFrame is created is fine.
