Setting multiple text dynamically on the GUI

Question

HI,
I have this function which computes the position record of 6 requests. ( ie x,y,dx,dy--these are the position records for a request)
I want to display these position records in a textfield, which i have in my GUI, as soon as i press the "positionrecord" button.
I am able to print the position records for all 6 requests on the console(of eclipse), but on the GUI only the position record of the 6th request is getting displayed in the textfield.
I have been advised by mny to use paint() and repaint() functions for this but no one has been able to give me a concrete solution as yet.
I also need to produce a delay of 1 sec between the position record being displayed in the textfield on the GUI, for which I have used a delay function. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS I AM NOT ABLE TO DISPLAY THE POSITION RECORDS FOR ALL THE 6 REQUESTS ON THE GUI DYNAMICALLY.
Please can anyone help me on this.
I have posted part of my code below. I have put the paint function also but i am not at all sure if it is correct.
Thanks in advance.
warm regards---
public void paint() {
Graphics g= null;
PosRecord prec=requestGenerator.getNextRecord();
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
double x = 15, y = 50, w = 70, h = 70;
SidePanel.PositionRecc.setText(prec.toString());
MainFrame.mapPanel.repaint();
Ellipse2D e = new Ellipse2D.Double(x, y, w, h);
GradientPaint gp = new GradientPaint(75, 75, Color.white,
95, 95, Color.gray, true);
e.setFrame(x 200, y, w, h);
System.out.println("inside paint function");
if(buffer != null)
bgraphics = buffer.getGraphics();
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) bgraphics;
if (request.getId()==100) {
System.out.println("Anonmized for message of node id " request.getId() );
System.out.println("Grid Cells: "); //request.getId()
for (int i = 0; i < orequests.size(); i++) {
SidePanel.PositionRecc.setText(request.toString());
paint();
SidePanel.PositionRecc.isOpaque();
System.out.println("NEW");
isVisible();
//MainFrame.mapPanel.repaint();
try
Thread.sleep(100);
catch(InterruptedException e)
//e.printStackTrace();
//super.update(g);
SidePanel.PositionRecc.setText(request.toString());
MainFrame.mapPanel.repaint();
// TraceGenerator.SidePanel.PositionRecc.setText(request.toString());
System.out.print("NEW1 " + orequests.get(i));
}

I had posted it on the wrong forumAnd you still posted in the wrong forum. In the future, Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing form.
The problem is you are blocking the EDT. Read the section from the Swing tutorial on Concurrency for an explanation about what this is and how it works.
I also need to produce a delay of 1 sec between the position record being displayed in the textfieldThe solution is to use a Swing Timer. The code will be executed on the EDT so it will work just as you want. The Swing tutorial also has a section on "How to Use Timers".
