Java Swing: Components don't show up
I am adding a JPanel to another JPanel. The problem is that the inner JPanel does not show up until I click at the location where it is supposed to appear.
Please let me know what I could be missing. Thanks!

Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to paste code. Sorry about that!
Can you tell me some possible things that could be going wrong?

I think HonorGod has a good point - are you indedadding the second ;panel after you show the window?
In general, unless there is some specvial need - just create all GUI first and then show
the window when all elements are already created and are in place, then say
setVisible(true);

I am not sure. Sorry if question sounds silly - I am new to Swing:
What is the frame here, and how do I get a reference to it?
Do I just say this.repaint()? (where this is a jpanel)?

It is very common to add one JPanel to another JPanel - should not have any problems
