Updating a JLabel to a JPanel

[tommyny04]

I have a method addPlayer that's supposed to add a JLabel to a JPanel and update the JPanel. The JLabel is just a label with a player's name in it. The code I've wrote doesn't work and I'm not sure why. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    int playerCount = 0;
    private void addPlayerButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                                
        String name = nameTextField.getText();
        Object color = colorComboBox.getSelectedItem();
        Object type = (String)typeComboBox.getSelectedItem();
 
        Player player = new Player(name);
        game.players.add(player);
        playerCount++;
 
        if (playerCount < 6){
            JLabel newLabel = new JLabel(name);
            playersPanel.add(newLabel);
            playersPanel.validate();
            playersPanel.repaint();          
        }
     }
