The code that follows is the start of a user interface that I am
creating for a Java Application.  I am having troulb getting the
application to properly display the ImageIcon icon (which represents
canada.gif).  Can anyone give me a clue as to why it is not displaying
properly.  Below is the code:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class UserInterface extends JFrame {
 JPanel contentPane;
 ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("canada.gif");
 JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
 JMenu menuFile = new JMenu();
 JMenuItem menuFileExit = new JMenuItem();
 JMenu menuHelp = new JMenu();
 JMenuItem menuHelpAbout = new JMenuItem();
 JLabel statusBar = new JLabel();
 JLabel mapPic = new JLabel(icon);
 JList airportList = new JList();
 JPanel mapPanel = new JPanel();
 BorderLayout borderLayout1 = new BorderLayout();
 JPanel lowerPanel = new JPanel();
 
 //Construct the frame
 public UserInterface() {
   enableEvents(AWTEvent.WINDOW_EVENT_MASK);
   try {
     jbInit();
   }
   catch(Exception e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
   }
 }

 //Component initialization
 private void jbInit() throws Exception  {
   contentPane = (JPanel) this.getContentPane();

   this.setSize(new Dimension(400, 300));
   this.setTitle("Frame Title");
   statusBar.setText(" ");
   statusBar.setBounds(new Rectangle(0, 0, 267, 15));
   menuFile.setText("File");
   menuFileExit.setText("Exit");
   menuFileExit.addActionListener(new
UserInterface_menuFileExit_ActionAdapter(this));
   menuHelp.setText("Help");
   menuHelpAbout.setText("About");
   menuHelpAbout.addActionListener(new
UserInterface_menuHelpAbout_ActionAdapter(this));
   mapPic.setForeground(Color.white);
   mapPic.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black));
   contentPane.setLayout(null);
   mapPanel.setBounds(new Rectangle(68, 17, 267, 196));
   mapPanel.setLayout(borderLayout1);
   airportList.setBounds(new Rectangle(336, 18, 64, 197));
   lowerPanel.setBounds(new Rectangle(-1, 214, 400, 86));
   menuFile.add(menuFileExit);
   menuHelp.add(menuHelpAbout);
   menuBar.add(menuFile);
   menuBar.add(menuHelp);
   this.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
   mapPanel.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
   mapPanel.setBorder(javax.swing.BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(javax.swing.BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder(),"Map",javax.swing.border.TitledBorder.LEADING,javax.swing.border.TitledBorder.TOP,new
Font("SansSerif",0,11),new Color(60,60,60)));
   mapPanel.add(mapPic);
   contentPane.add(airportList, null);
   contentPane.add(mapPanel, null);
   contentPane.add(statusBar, null);
   contentPane.add(lowerPanel, null);
 }
 
 //File | Exit action performed
 public void menuFileExit_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
   System.exit(0);
 }

 //Help | About action performed
 public void menuHelpAbout_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
   UserInterface_AboutBox dlg = new UserInterface_AboutBox(this);
   Dimension dlgSize = dlg.getPreferredSize();
   Dimension frmSize = getSize();
   Point loc = getLocation();
   dlg.setLocation((frmSize.width - dlgSize.width) / 2 + loc.x,
(frmSize.height - dlgSize.height) / 2 + loc.y);
   dlg.setModal(true);
   dlg.pack();
   dlg.show();
 }

 //Overridden so we can exit when window is closed
 protected void processWindowEvent(WindowEvent e) {
   super.processWindowEvent(e);
   if (e.getID() == WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING) {
     menuFileExit_actionPerformed(null);
   }
 }
}

Thanks,
Jeff
