Adding a Panel to JApplet doesn't work properly

Question

Hi there,
I have a class "Editor" extended from JPanel to edit some data. In my JApplet I added a JMenubar with setJMenubar() and registered an ActionListener to the menu items. Everything works fine except the displaying of the EditorPanel after choosing the menu item.
When I'm adding the Panel in the constructor of the applet it is shown correctly.
public class EditorApplet extends JApplet implements ActionListener
  public void init()
    setJMenuBar(createJMenuBar());
    Editor e = new Editor();
    getContentPane().add(e); // works perfectly
    e.load(2); // load data into editor
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    if (e.getActionCommand().equals("..."))
      Editor e = new Editor();
      e.loadObjects(1);
      getContentPane().removeAll();
      getContentPane().add(e); // nothing happens!?
      getContentPane().repaint(); // ???
      repaint(); // ???
    }What else needs to be done to display the 'new' Editor?

Wait. You're adding an ActionEvent to your panel.
I think you want to do "add(this.e)".
