Why doesn't my JTable display

[wooks]

I would appreciate some urgent assistance with this simple code.

When it run it displays a blank frame. What do I need to do to get the
JTable to display?

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;

public class RunFileMatcher extends JFrame {

RunFileMatcher() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("MatchTable");
frame.setSize(600,400);

String[] columnNames = {"File", "Size"};
String dataValues[][] = {
{ "A", "234" },
{ "B", "43" },
{ "C", "89.2" },
{ "D", "9033" }
};

JTable table = new JTable(dataValues,columnNames);
getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(table), "Center");

frame.setVisible( true );
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );

}
}

...have you considered urgently paying a consultant?

(I was going to have a look over it, but now I have
decided to see if any others are willing to conform
to your schedule, first - just out of morbid curiousity..)

frame.setSize(600,400);

}

Ah, heres the problem....
Your class RunFileMatcher extends JFrame, and therefor IS-A JFrame, you
also create a *different* JFrame object (JFrame frame = new JFrame()).
You set up the table and the frame, but you add the table to your
RunFileMatcher object instead of the JFrame you initialized.

change the line:
public class RunFileMatcher extends JFrame {
to
public class RunFileMatcher {

and the line
getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(table), "Center");
to
frame.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(table),
BorderLayer.CENTER);

I replied only because I am bored and enjoy this sort of thing.

Also, I didn't notice the "urgency", or I might have requested money
first .

Assuming I had would you have made enough from my simple problem to buy
a burger?

Thank you ... it works. I'm on the last leg of some coursework that is
due on Monday, so now I can get on with the other bits.

Gimme a job or gimme charity

A burger is currently out of my price range.

I have a sign, "Will Program For Pennies (and by pennies I mean 12$/hr)"

That depends on the urgency, not the simplicity, and on the price you are
willing to pay.

I would gladly solve your urgent problem for $20K U.S., and that'll buy the
burger stand.
