Imitating a JFrame extended program with JPanel; help needed...

hi all,
there is a simple prog in the book "Sams teach ..." which extends
JFrame. its an example for actionListener.

since i heard i cant apply lookandfeel() for JFrame, i wanted to write
the programe extending JPanel.
the code i wrote correctly gets compiled. but nothing is getting
displayed ( i mean no buttons popping out).

please can you check whats the prob?

below are the two codes. (first one from the book extending JFrame and
next mine extending JPanel)

thank you for your time and support.
