I took my scrollbar code from

In the end I changed your JLayeredPane for a JPanel and the
JScrollBar appeared.

Then I guess my question boils down to how do I make a scrollbar appear
in a JLayered Pane?

Aha! (I suspect) you are getting closer to the actual problem.
( I've never needed to use JLayeredPane's, so I'm bowing
out of this thread.. )

And as an aside.. did you note how that example you linked to
contained just 58 lines of code?

My example included the toolbar and menu code because some here
complained that I left that code out of my first snipet.

Got it.

But it might have been better to remove the call to the menu
completely. The basic idea of posting a short example is to
remove *everything* that is not needed to display the problem.
That hones it down to the simplest possible demonstration,
and saves us all bandwidth, and for those investigating the
problem, time. Sometimes, in the process of code trimming,
the solution is discovered by the coder.

Hope you get it sorted..
