Thread: Problem with borders appearing

I have 2 ButtonGroups which I want to have separate titled borders for. This is the code I'm using to set it up but it doesn't work. Can someone have a suggestion? I'm just a beginner.

JPanel sizePanel = new JPanel();

ButtonGroup style = new ButtonGroup();

sizePanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBord er("Varietal"));


chardonnay = new JRadioButton("Chalone");
cabernet = new JRadioButton("Silver Oak");
zinfandel = new JRadioButton("Oppolo");
style.add(chardonnay);
style.add(cabernet);
style.add(zinfandel);

panel1.add(chardonnay);
panel1.add(cabernet);
panel1.add(zinfandel);

ButtonGroup bottle = new ButtonGroup();

sizePanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBord er("Bottle Size"));


split = new JRadioButton("Split");
fifth = new JRadioButton("Fifth");
magnum = new JRadioButton("Magnum");
bottle.add(split);
bottle.add(fifth);
bottle.add(magnum);


panel1.add(split);
panel1.add(fifth);
panel1.add(magnum);

Should they be going to the same object?

I am creating a border with a title and adding 3 buttons to it. I then create a second border with a different title and add 3 different buttons to it. I want the panel to show 2 borders with 3 buttons in each. What's happening is it is displaying the second border with 6 buttons in it.

In the posted code I see 6 places where you added to panel1.... perhaps in some code not posted you had a panel2 you meant to add things to?
