Thread: help for applet

Sorry for my bad english....
This applet adds the label each time you restart, because it is rerun the start method.

import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Font;
 
public class Example extends JApplet {
  private JLabel label1;
  private JLabel label2;
  private JLabel label3;
 
  class Etichetta extends JLabel {
    Etichetta (String nomeFont, int dim, Color fg, Color bc) {
      super("Ehiiiii!");
      setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
      setForeground(fg);
      setFont(new Font(nomeFont, Font.BOLD, dim));
      setBorder(BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(1, 1, 2, 2, bc));
    }
  }
 
  public void init() {
    label1 = new Etichetta("Courier", 48, Color.blue, Color.yellow);
    label2 = new Etichetta("Verdana", 36, Color.yellow, Color.red);
    label3 = new Etichetta("Times New Roman", 60, Color.red, Color.blue);
  }
 
  public void start() {
    getContentPane().setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1, 5, 5));
    getContentPane().setBackground(Color.green);
    getContentPane().add(label1);
    getContentPane().add(label2);
    getContentPane().add(label3);
  }
}

The method should be changed to "inform" to add them only when you first start.
But I can not find the way ....

Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
