Swing help needed...

-----------------------------------

 JPanel northPanel = new JPanel ();
        JPanel ratingPanel = new JPanel ();

        northPanel.setLayout (new BorderLayout ());
        northPanel.add ("North", movieBox);

        ratingPanel.setLayout (new BorderLayout ());
        ratingPanel.add ("East", currentRating);

        getContentPane ().add (northPanel);
        getContentPane ().add (ratingPanel);

        pack ();
        setVisible (true);

For some reason, it will display the panel 'ratingPanel', but never the panel 'northPanel'.  When I use delete all the lines that are about 'ratingPanel', 'northPanel' shows up just fine.  Why won't they both show up?

never use "strings" literals for that kind of stuff. always use the Class provided constants.

In this case for "North" it would be BorderLayout.NORTH
