Web Browser using GUI

Question

Hello, I have make a Web Browser using Swing/AWT, I've done the basic Web Browser, my assignment asks for addtional functionality like Bookmarks, and history. I can't post all the code, but here's what i've done for both.
     * History menu and add file menu items
    private void makeHistoryMenu()
        historyItem = new JMenuItem("History");
        historyItem.setBackground(Color.white);
        historyItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                  //Add url to history;
       // historyMenu.add(location);
// Bookmark button
        bookmarkButton = new JButton("Bookmark");
        bookmarkButton.setToolTipText("Bookmark");
        bookmarkButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
                URL url;
                try
                    String location = locationInput.getText();
                    location = "http://" + location;
                    historyArray.add(location); // Do I need an arraylist to store the entries??
                catch (Exception e)
                    return;
        });it doesn't show the the bookmarks or the history
Thanks

Answer 1

you must add the button to the Component where you want to show it
(or the historyItem to the JMenu)
e.g.:
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
JButton historyButton = new JButton("History);
frame.add(historyButton);
frame.setVisible(true);
{code}
