Q:

Adding JPanel to JFrame

I have a program in which a JPanel is added to a JFrame:
public class Test{

    Test2 test = new Test2();
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();

    Test(){

    ...
    frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    frame.add(test, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    ...

    }

    //main

    ...

    }

    public class Test2{

    JPanel test2 = new JPanel();

    Test2(){

    ...

    }

}

I get an error asking me to change type of 'panel' to 'component'. I do I fix this error?
It wants me to do: Component panel = new Component();

A:

public class Test{

Test2 test = new Test2();
JFrame frame = new JFrame();

Test(){
...
frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
frame.add(test, BorderLayout.CENTER);
...
}

//main
...
}

//public class Test2{
public class Test2 extends JPanel {

//JPanel test2 = new JPanel();

Test2(){
...
}

A:

do it simply
public class Test{
    public Test(){
        design();
    }//end Test()

public void design(){
    JFame f = new JFrame();
    f.setSize(int w, int h);
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
    f.setVisible(true);
    JPanel p = new JPanel(); 
    f.getContentPane().add(p);
}

public static void main(String[] args){
     EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
     public void run(){
         try{
             new Test();
         }catch(Exception e){
             e.printStackTrace();
         }

 }
         );
}

}
