is never displayed...instead it always shows "HALLO" although the method

Say I had two class a and b defined like so

Sorry to post a 'Windows specific' question, although it may well
apply to other operating systems.
I have written a program that times tasks, and it can quite easily be

first of all I'd like to say that this is my very first post ever on a
forum and I might be asking the question on the wrong one :( if so

I have a Java application that creates a window using JFrame. When I move
another window over this to partially or completely occlude the JFrame, the
JFrame's contents are not redrawn. What do I need to do so the JFrame
redraws items that are no longer occluded?

I tried the sample program on this page:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/button.html
But the shortcut key does not seem to work on AIX (tried with 1.3 and
1.4) and Solaris (tried with 1.2.2).

or similar packages?
