I'm making my first bigger Java application and I'm having some
trouble getting the GUI to work.

I'm trying to use the MigLayout to make a form with label
textfield pairs to get settings from the user.

The bigger GUI picture is frame that has cardlayout. SettingPanel
is one of the cards and this works just fine.
In the SettingPanel I want to choose what to display according to
the combobox value. If MySQL is selected then it will show MySQL
labels and textboxes.

Currently the SettingPanel only displays the combobox and nothing
else. I can select MySQL and SQLite from it but neither has any
visible effect.

package quotedb;

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import net.miginfocom.swing.MigLayout;

class SettingPanel extends JPanel {

     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     private final static String OPTION_MYSQL = "MySQL";
     private final static String OPTION_SQLITE = "SQLite";

     // Labels and textfields for MySQL
     private JTextField mysqlUrlTxt,
     mysqlDBNameTxt,mysqlDriverTxt;
     private JTextField mysqlUsernameTxt, mysqlPasswordTxt;
     private JLabel mysqlUrlLbl, mysqlDBNameLbl, mysqlDriverLbl;
     private JLabel mysqlUsernameLbl, mysqlPasswordLbl;

     // Labels and textfields for SQLite
     private JTextField sqliteUrlTxt, sqliteDBNameTxt,
     sqliteDriverTxt;
     private String activeEngine;
     private Controller myController;
     private JPanel cards;

    public SettingPanel(Controller controllerIn) {
        try {
            myController = controllerIn;
            jbInit();
        } catch (Exception exception) {
            exception.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
