JApplet not painting on init

my crapplet has internal JPanels, and it was not repainting on load, only when the window was resized.

solution:

add this:
<br />public void repaint(Graphics g){<br /> update(g);<br /> refreshUI(); //this is the function to redraw the GUI<br />}<br />

JOptionPane Madness

String options[] = new String[]{"yes","no"};
int n = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(frame,
"Would you like green eggs and ham?",
"A Silly Question",
JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION,
JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE,
null, //don't use a custom Icon
options, //the titles of buttons
options[0]); //default button title

WindowCloser code

i use this all the time:

this.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() { public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) { dispose(); } });
