Let's say, hypothetically, that I have a very simple GUI. Suppose I
have a JPanel taking up most of a JFrame, and that based on some
unrelated factors(some numerical instance), I want this JPanel to go
away, and have a different(already instantiated) JPanel take its place.
This seems like it should be really easy, can anyone explain how to
accomplish this?

thank you.

You can have both added, and alternately setVisible either one, the
revalidate.

You can add/remove them.

You can use a CardLayout
