I know this seems like it should be very simple. and it should be. However I can't figure out how to do it in IntelliJ..
So I have my main class that creates a new instance of the gui using this code: gui mainGui = new gui();
I would think this should be all I need, but the gui never shows up.. I have the gui built(the layout anyways, I don't have any listeners yet) and here is the bound class code:
package client; import javax.swing.*; publicclass gui { private JPanel mainPanel; private JTextField textField1; private JTextArea textArea1; private JButton sendButton; publicstaticvoid main(String[] args) { JFrame frame = new JFrame("gui"); frame.setContentPane(new gui().mainPanel); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); frame.pack(); frame.setVisible(true); }}
So I can't figure out why it doesn't display the gui, any help is appreciated
