JTextArea not appearing?

[Chris Williams]

I haven't done any Java programming for a good long bit, so this is probably
something really silly but anyways, can anyone tell me why my JTextArea is
not appearing when I run this?

public class MyApp extends JFrame {
JTextArea textArea;

public MyApp() {
getContentPane().setLayout(null);

textArea = new JTextArea();
textArea.setColumns(300);
textArea.setRows(10);
textArea.setLocation(120, 5);
textArea.setVisible(true);

getContentPane().add(textArea);

setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setSize(500, 500);
setVisible(true);
}

public static void main(String args[]) {
MyApp win = new MyApp();
}
}

Remove this line:

getContentPane().setLayout(null);

Also, this:

textArea.setVisible(true);

is unnecessary, but benign.

I hope this helps.
