Mixing heavy (Java3d) and light (Swing) components

[Jacob Nikom]

Hi,

I am trying to work with Java3D and Swing on Linux. I was able to
run some 3D programs but stuck when I tried to place JPanel and 
Canvas3D on the same Frame.

I could see my Canvas3D objects very well, but my JPanel object
always lies behind the background color in the main Frame. I could
see some small part of it, if I resize the Frame, I could see
(sometimes) larger part of it, but I could not place it on front.
My heavy and light objects don't overlap, nevertheless I could
not see all of them.

I read Amy Fowler's article about mixing heavy and light components
but the example only tells about JPopupMenu.

JPopupMenu.setDefaultLightWeightPopupEnabled(false);

What I can do about JPanel?

Currently I add JPanel to Frame - I could not make it otherwise.
Do you have any ideas?

Here is a piece of code:

.....................................
    HelloUniverse helloUniverse = new  HelloUniverse(); // heavy
component 3D

    DisplayImagePanel displayImagePanel = new DisplayImagePanel(); //
JPanel

    displayImagePanel.setBounds(0, 100, 128, 128);
    displayImagePanel.CreateImage();

    Frame frame = new MainFrame(helloUniverse, 400, 400);
    frame.add(displayImagePanel);
    frame.setVisible(true);
    frame.validate();
.....................................
