Thread: JScrollPane not showing up

I'm trying to write a GUI that has 2 JPanels, the left panel with an image and JLabel below it, and the right one with a scrollable JTextArea. For whatever reason the JTextArea isn't showing up.

 import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
 
public class TextAreaDemo extends JFrame 
{
  private JPanel p1, p2;
  private ImageIcon javaIcon;
  private JLabel jlblIcon;
  private JTextArea jtxtDetails;
  private JScrollPane scrollPane;
 
  public TextAreaDemo() 
  {
    p1 = new JPanel();
	 p1.setLayout(new GridLayout(2, 1));
	 p1.add(new JLabel(javaIcon = new ImageIcon("image\\java.jpg")));
	 p1.add(jlblIcon = new JLabel("An Icon"));
	 jlblIcon.setFont(new Font("Helvetica", Font.BOLD, 20));
 
	 add(p1, BorderLayout.WEST);
 
	 p2 = new JPanel();
	 p2.add(jtxtDetails = new JTextArea("Java uses the javax.swing.ImageIcon class to represent an icon. An icon is a fixed-   size picture; typically it is small and used to decorate.", 100, 100));
	 jtxtDetails.setLineWrap(true);
	 jtxtDetails.setWrapStyleWord(true);
	 scrollPane = new JScrollPane(jtxtDetails);
 
	 add(p2, BorderLayout.EAST);
  }
 
  public static void main(String[] args) 
  {
    TextAreaDemo frame = new TextAreaDemo();
    frame.setTitle("TextAreaDemo");
    frame.pack();
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);	 
    frame.setVisible(true);
  }
}

Aha! That's it, you forgot to add the scrollPane. Do this by doing

add(scrollPane);

I hope I helped!

Thank you! I've been looking at it for hours with no success!
