what am I doing wrong?

Here is the setup of the JPanel (which is inside my JFrame).

FlowLayout flowLayout = new FlowLayout();
flowLayout.setAlignment(java.awt.FlowLayout.LEFT);
southPropertiesPanel = new JPanel();
southPropertiesPanel.setLayout(flowLayout);
southPropertiesPanel.add(getFirstPropertyCheckBox(), null);
southPropertiesPanel.add(getSecondPropertyCheckBox(), null);
southPropertiesPanel.add(getThirdPropertyCheckBox(), null);
southPropertiesPanel.add(getFourthPropertyCheckBox(), null);


You must have the size of the JPanel constrained somehow so that you
can't see the rest of the components. Just out of curiosity what is the=

null constraint for in the add?

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

public class test {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
         EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
             public void run() {
                 JFrame f = new JFrame();
                 f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_=

ON_CLOSE);

                 JPanel p = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(=

));

                 JButton b;
                 for (int i=0; i<10; i++) {
                     b = new JButton(Integer.toStr=

ing(i));

                     p.add(b);
                 }
                 f.add(p,BorderLayout.CENTER);
                 f.pack();
                 f.setVisible(true);
             }
         });
     }

}

Actually, after a bit of testing, it may be because of the following
reason:

1. I have a JFrame with a BorderLayout.
2. Inside the JFrame, I have three panels. northPanel, centerPanel
and southPanel. The southPanel is the one that contains the
JCheckBoxes (and the FlowLayout).
3. When I resize the JFrame, it appears that the centerPanel receives
the benefit of the resize, but the south and north panels appear to
stay statically sized.

That's at least what I am seeing. Not sure if there is any way to
change/fix this.
