I've implemented a custom swing component. It extends the JComponent
class and implement paintComponent.

If I add this comonent to a panel with a BorderLayout layoutmanager, it
is show. If I use the default layoutmanager for JPanels (flowlayout),
the panel is paintet over my component. And also, if I specify
BorderLayout.NORTH when adding my componenet to the JPanel, the
component is also overpainted.

The reason I know its overpainted is because I have a System.out.println
statement int he paintComponent function, and I can see the print out
when its repaintet.

So the question is, how do I implement support for posisioning by
layoutmanagers in my component.
