Thread: JLabel meant to move around is not moving

Hello!

I am making a program where JLabels containing numbers are to move to their correct position in a binary heap, but I cannot get the label to move. I have the x-coordinates and y-coordinates correct, and you can see the shadow of the JLabel moving, but in the end it stays where it used to be. Can somebody help?
The moving method is the moveTo method. (Node extends JLabel, and has no significant changes)

This is my code:

You need an SSCCE ( sscce.org ) - that's just too much code *and* with a missing component, you'll be lucky to find anyone willing to attempt to debug it for you. A JLabel that moves depending on some values from somewhere else doesn't sound particularly difficult - I suspect you'll work out for yourself where you're going wrong (or a better way to do it) while you're constructing the SSCCE.
