I have a total of three classes
two of them extends JPanel
and one of them extends JFrame
Classes Extends to JPanel
--------------------------
DerivedLabelText
DerivedNames
Classes Extends to JFrame

Test
There are 2 panels in DerivedNames and both of them are of DerivedLabelText type. They are arranged in GridLayout in DerivedNames.

Is it true But Where should i write this code
I can't find a answer to this question
please help me regarding this
Thanks in advance

Now the improved code for DerivedNames is
