Failure to repaint

I have a Swing Applet wherein I create NO new threads.

There are no time-consumptive things occuring.

I create an Applet which has a couple of JTables on it. The data therein is
NOT very extensive.

However, frequently, the applet seems to NOT repaint - whether being
displayed in a browser or in NetBeans AppletViewer.

For the life of me, I cannot see what might be causing this. It does not
appear hardware-specific as it happens on all machines.

Has anyone ever experienced such a thing? Anyone with any ideas what I ought
to be looking for? Thanks, Ike

Does you applet call the repaint() method explicitly in the start()
method, assuming all the GUI are instantiated in the init() method?

I've found that a lot of the difficult-to-solve repaint problems I've
encountered can usually be solved by passing the component that needs
repainting to RepaintManager.addInvalidComponent(). For example, if
you're referring to the component with a reference named "comp", you
would do:

RepaintManager.currentManager(comp).addInvalidComponent(comp);
