applet size

[Brandi Love]

I have an issue and I'm sure its something silly that I've missed in my code but I can't seem to pinpoint it. Forgive me, I'm still a GUI beginner.

In my run method I'm setting the size for the applet window but when I try to run it it appears to run at some default size and not the size I've set it to be (620, 410). Does anyone see something I might be missing? Could this possibly be an issue with Eclipse and not my code? Code is below, I've bolded where I'm setting the size...

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.lang.String;
import javax.swing.JLabel ;
import java.net.*;
 
public class ConnectFourMain extends JApplet
{
private JButton newGame = new JButton("New Game"), exit = new JButton("Exit");
//New game and exit buttons are initialized here
static JFrame frame = new JFrame("Connect Four");
 
class NewGameButtonListener implements ActionListener
{
//The 'listener' detects a click on the 'New Game' button
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) 
{
//actionPerformed contols what actions occur when the 'New Game' button is clicked
}
}

class ExitButtonListener implements ActionListener //Controls the action if the exit button is clicked. 
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
System.exit(0); //Exits when the exit button is clicked.
}
}

private NewGameButtonListener newGameButtonHandler = new NewGameButtonListener(); 
private ExitButtonListener exitButtonHandler = new ExitButtonListener();
//Adds the handlers to the login and exit buttons.

public void init() 
{
newGame.addActionListener(newGameButtonHandler);
exit.addActionListener(exitButtonHandler);
Container c = getContentPane();
c.setLayout(new FlowLayout ());
 
    JLabel image;
try
    {
    URL link = new URL("http://foxweb.marist.edu/users/brandi.love/connectFourAni.gif");
    image = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(link));
    c.add(image, BorderLayout.NORTH);
    }
    catch (MalformedURLException e)
    {
    System.out.println("Malformed URL");
    }
  
    c.add(newGame,   BorderLayout.WEST);
    c.add(exit,  BorderLayout.EAST);
  }
 

public static void run(JApplet applet, int width, int height)
{
//run initializes the applet with the size provided by main
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.getContentPane ().add(applet);
[B]frame.setSize(width, height);[/B]
applet.init();
applet.start();
frame.setVisible(true);
}

public static void main(String[] args) 
{
[B]run(new ConnectFourMain(), 620, 410);[/B]
//Calls run, which runs the applet with the specified width and height
}
}

I added a line to the end of your run method

        frame.setVisible(true);
        System.out.println("frame size = " + frame.getSize());
    }

and got this in the console
frame size = java.awt.Dimension[width=620,height=410]
Seems to run okay from the command line (no IDE).

Okay, must be an Eclipse thing. Thanks!
