JPanel separators

Thread view:

I need to create some separators in a JPanel to separate buttons and
textfields and someone on here a few days ago said to just use a
JSeparator and add it to the JPanel. I did that and the separator
doesn't show up.

This is what I'm using:
panel.add(new JSeparator(0));

Other textfields, labels, and buttons I'm adding show up just fine but
the separator isn't so the rest of my code should be okay.

any ideas?

You need to use .setPreferredSize() to give the separator a length greater
than 0.

OK that worked. it was nice of the sun docs to (not) mention that.
