A JFrame is quite a complex beast if you look at the number of panes it has associated with it:

Suffice it to say that there is only one pane of interest to us at this point:

• The content pane.  

The content pane is where you place the content of the frame (surprise!).  

Note: This is unlike AWT, where you simply add your content directly to the frame itself.  

You obtain the content pane by calling getContentPane() -- again, not surprisingly!
