Java Applet- - Adding Componets to GUI-- 1.5sdk

[biglurch]

I cannont figure out how to add components to my applet gui. I remember doing it with getContentPane(), but whenever i use that i get cannot resolve symbol, however it still is on the java api list. I am just attempting to add a jlabel to the gui, any help would be appreciated. Hers my code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class SubmitProject extends Applet {



public void init() {
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
Container container = new getContentPane();
JLabel companyName = new JLabel("Company Name: ");
panel.add(companyName);



}

public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawString("test text", 50, 60 );

}
}

Try extending JApplet instead.

[stefanwagner]

new getContentPane();

is only used if there is a constructor getContentPane ().
But by convention, constructors are Capitalized.

getContentPane is a method, and was used in JFrame/ (Frame?) but is obsolet for java-5.

For (J)Panels, you added and add components directly.
