components being shown only on maximising

[narendra vuppuluri]

I dont why this is happening..but..
the components that i added to a jframe are only being shown if i maximised the window..
here is a small code that i wrote...

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;


public class teststatic
{
  public static void main(String args[])
   {
     teststatic just = new teststatic();
	 just.go();
   }
   public void go()
   {
     JFrame frame = new JFrame("test static frame");
	 frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
	 frame.setSize(300,300);
	 frame.setVisible(true);
	 
	 JTextField typingArea = new JTextField(20);
	 JTextArea displayArea = new JTextArea();
	 displayArea.setEditable(false);
	 JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(displayArea);
	 scrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(375, 125));
	
	 frame.getContentPane().add(typingArea, BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
	 frame.getContentPane().add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
   }
   
   
}

only the frame is being shown....
not the text field that i added...

But when i maximize the window ..
i can view the textfield that i added..


This is happening with all GUI programs..
Please help me out..

The setVisible() call should be last. Otherwise try validate() or revalidate() after the adding calls.

The setVisible() should indeed be the last...!!!
