Need Help Desparately For Project

Question

Hello Everyone,
My problem is that I have a JFrame with a two JPanels inside of it. Inside one of the JPanels I have a JTextArea and the other a JTextField. In the class constructor I create this objects and using show() display them. I want the content typed into the JTextField appended to the JTextArea. Unfurtunately although the information is retrieved from the user and appended to the JTextArea it doesn't show up on the JTextArea even after I've made a call to repaint(). Is this happening because the appends must occur in the main method? Currently I have the main method call printToJTextArea() to read the info in the JtextField and append it to theJTextArea. PLEEEEAAAASSSSE HELP!!!!!!!!!!
