JTextArea not appearing?

[Chris Williams]

I haven't done any Java programming for a good long bit, so this is probably
something really silly but anyways, can anyone tell me why my JTextArea is
not appearing when I run this?

public class MyApp extends JFrame {
JTextArea textArea;

public MyApp() {
getContentPane( ).setLayout(nul l);

textArea = new JTextArea();
textArea.setCol umns(300);
textArea.setRow s(10);
textArea.setLoc ation(120, 5);
textArea.setVis ible(true);

getContentPane( ).add(textArea) ;

setDefaultClose Operation(JFram e.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
setSize(500, 500);
setVisible(true );
}

public static void main(String args[]) {
MyApp win = new MyApp();
}
}

Remove this line:

getContentPane( ).setLayout(nul l);

Also, this:

textArea.setVis ible(true);

is unnecessary, but benign.

I hope this helps.
