Why label is not showing?

Question

Hi,
I have a class that extends JWindow....but when I add label, i cant see the text..
public class myWindow extends JWindow {
     public myWindow() {
              setLocation(100,100);
              setSize(200,200);
              JLabel label = new JLabel("My label");
               getConentPane().add(label);
public class testWindow  {
      public void static main (String[] args) {
             myWindow m = new myWindow();
             m.show();
}thats basically how I am doing it....but when the window appears, it just shows a gray window...no text.
thanks.

Here;-import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
// Note that class file names start with a capital letter by code convention /syntax style
class MyWindow extends JWindow {
   public MyWindow() {
      setLocation(100,100);
      setSize(200,200);
      JLabel label = new JLabel("My label");
      getContentPane().add(label, java.awt.BorderLayout.NORTH);
      addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
         public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me){
            System.exit(0);
public class TestWindow{
   public static void main (String[] args) {
      new MyWindow().show();
