Paint() method is in infinite loop when focus is set to JTextPane

Question

Hi All,
I am creating one JScrollPane, JPanel and JTextPane. JPanel is added to JScrollPane and JTextPane is added to JPanel. If I override paint() method in JPanel, its in infinite loop. I don't know why it is behaving like this. Can anyone solve my problem. Since, I am doing so much drawings in paint() method, its getting to slow.
Here is the code what I wrote.
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class TestTextPane1 extends JFrame {
     JPanel panel;
     JScrollPane pane;
     public TestTextPane1() {
          panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout()) {
               public void paint(Graphics g) {
                    super.paint(g);
                    System.out.println("inside paint");
          JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
          panel.add(textPane);
          pane = new JScrollPane(panel);
          getContentPane().add(pane);
          setSize(300, 200);
          setVisible(true);
     public static void main(String [] args) {
          new TestTextPane1();
Any help will be useful for me.

What are you trying to do? You are adding the textPane to the panel and then overriding the paint() method. The textPane will never be painted if you do this.
In Swing, you should override the paintComponent() method, not the paint() method. See the Swing tutorial on Painting:

Don't forget to read the "Working With Graphics" link at the bottom.
