Only first button gets displayed

Question

I'm creating a panel with a bunch of buttons. What the class does is accepts an array of Actions and creates a button for each action. For some reason, only the first button is displayed. When you resize the window, all of the buttons become visible. I tried button.setVisible() with no luck. I tried to repaint() in the panel class, again a loser.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

class WestPanel extends JPanel
     public WestPanel( Action[] actions )
          Dimension dim = new Dimension( WIDTH, HEIGHT );
          setSize( dim );
          setLayout( new GridLayout( actions.length, 1 ));
          setBackground( Color.green );
          // Looping through actions to create panels
          for( int i = 0; i < actions.length; i++ )
               JButton button = new JButton( actions[i] );
               button.setFont( new Font( "", Font.BOLD, 18 ));
               button.setSize( new Dimension( WIDTH, BUTTON_HEIGHT ) );
               add( button );
     private static final int WIDTH = 200;
     private static final int HEIGHT = MainInterface.HEIGHT;
     private static final int BUTTON_HEIGHT = 50;
}

Thanks anyway. . .I found the problem.
I hate when that happens, but I found a hint to my problem when I spent a little more time reading the other threads.
