Question

Why doesn't the following work? When I execute the program, a blank, gray window displays.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class MyPanel extends JPanel
     public void paintComponet(Graphics g)
          super.paintComponent(g);
          Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
          //g.setColor(currentTextColor);
          g2d.setPaint(Color.black);
          g2d.drawString("hello world", 50, 50);
public class DemoDrawing
     static JFrame aWindow = new JFrame("some title");
     public static void main(String[] args)
          //Toolkit kit =  aWindow.getToolkit();
          //Dimension size = kit.getScreenSize();
          //aWindow.setBounds(size.width/4, size.height/4, size.width/2, size.height/2);
          aWindow.setBounds(50, 50, 400, 300);
          aWindow.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          MyPanel panel = new MyPanel();
          //panel.setBackground(Color.pink);
          Container cp = aWindow.getContentPane();
          cp.add(panel);
          aWindow.setVisible(true);
}

Hey, thanks for taking the time to look over my code and finding that typo. It was driving me crazy.
