Hi

I'm busy writing a swing application that consists of a JTabbedPane with each tab being a JSplitPane. Each of these JSplitPanes has a bunch of buttons on the left hand side, and pressing a button brings up a JPanel on the right hand side with the appropriate form on it. The problem is that i can bring up one panel, but the minute i click another button to bring up a different panel the application just hangs... I have no idea why.

The code i'm using to change panels looks something like this.

private void generalConfigPressed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
       generalConfigPanel tmp = new generalConfigPanel();    
       tmp.setCommunicator(comm);
       jSplitPane1.remove(jSplitPane1.getRightComponent());
       jSplitPane1.setRightComponent(tmp);
   }

generalConfigPanel is a JPanel. setCommunicator is a method i need to invoke before displaying the panel.

I'm using j2sdk 1.4.2

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Sebastian
