You need to add it to the frame and make sure the frame is
set as myFrame.setVisible(true);
Here is an example:
JFrame someFrame = new JFrame();
JLabel label = new JLabel("Text-Only Label");
label.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, 36));
someFrame.add(label);
someFrame.setSize(230, 230);
someFrame.setVisible(true);
or if your class is extending JFrame then it would
simply be:
// set Layout to whatever Layout Manager
// flowLayout, GridLayout, etc...
getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
JLabel label = new JLabel("Text-Only Label");
label.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, 36));
getContentPane().add(label);
setSize(230, 230); // or whatever size you want
// Place Frame in middle of Screen
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
setVisible(true);
Good luck,
Spike
