Graphics2D & JTextField Problem

I'm trying to add a JTextField to a JPanel which paints a bunch of lines and what not using Grahpics2D but the JTextField doesn't show up. Is there anything I'm missing in terms of functionality?

The way I was adding it was in the constructor for the class that extends JPanel.

Cheers

PS I didn't post the code because I do not have it on me at the second and don't think it's a code problem.

Thanks
