Can anyone please tell me why my invokeLater in the following code never
displays the JFrame I am trying to get it to display, and shows no
exceptions either? I am certain I must have somethign stupid and wrong here.
Thanks, Ike

public void putupreconnectnotice(boolean on){
       if(on){
           javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
               public void run() {
                   connectionLost();
               }
           });
       }else{
           if(waitjframe!=null){
               waitjframe.dispose();
           }
       }
   }

   private void connectionLost(){
       waitjframe = new JFrame("Connection to server lost!");
       waitjframe.setSize(310, 75);
       waitjframepanel=new JPanel();
       waitjframepanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300,60));
       waitjframepanel.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
      waitjframepanel.add(new JLabel("Attempting to reconnect"));
       waitjframe.getContentPane().add(waitjframepanel);
       waitjframe.pack();
       waitjframe.setVisible(false);
       waitjframepanel.grabFocus();
   }
