Most times I compile the run my GUI I will get a blank frame.
If I compile exactly the same code a few more times eventually it will load and function perfectly.

Anyone know what's going on?
My computer isn't ancient and reinstalling/updating java has not helped.
I am running my program from command line. Using a JDE is not an option.

Thanks


Edit:
*Its started happening regardless of whether I compile it again now. I have also had this problem with other programs although for this particular program it worked fine everytime I ran it yesterday. If code is relevant I shall post my code although I suspect I should narrow down the cause first.
*Sometimes a few components will load and the others will appear if I'm lucky enough for a button to have loaded. What loads and what doesn't appears to be in a specific order starting with the panel and allowing my WEST and EAST button in next.

If it doesn't load, does it appear when you resize the frame?

Just give a call to repaint the gui or move your setVisible call to after you add everything to the frame. If you show the code I could probably point you to the problem pretty easy as I have had similar problems before.

This has worked. Thanks once again :)

No problem. I remember spending hours trying to figure out this simple fix last year around this time. It was very frustrating.
