Re: why isnt this scroll panel scrolling?

heres my class file. All I am trying to do is get the scroll panel to
have a scroll bar and the ability to scroll.
Why does changing the size of the JScrollPane have no affect on it when
I run the program? What do I have to do to gain scrolling
capabilities?
Thanks

Your code won't compile, let alone run.
If you need further help then you need to create a Short, Self
Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE) that
demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly
what you are doing based on the information provided.
I think a panel only with five buttons need not to be scrolled.
Why it should scroll? I don't understand.
