JTextArea

[MallardsReach]

OK, so I'm back to using notepad++ in a panel I have a TextBox, Label and Buton all of which show but I have a TextArea that doesn't show, tried various ways but nothing has worked.

private static void placeComponents(JPanel panel) 
{
		panel.setLayout(null);
		JTextArea displayTable = new JTextArea("Text Area");
		displayTable.setEditable(false);
		displayTable.setColumns(20);
		displayTable.setFont(new Font("Times New Roman", 1, 14));
		displayTable.setLineWrap(true);
		displayTable.setRows(14);
		displayTable.setWrapStyleWord(true);
		displayTable.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.GREEN));
		displayTable.setMaximumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(5, 22));
		panel.add(displayTable);
