BoxLayout & Borders

Hi !

I'm trying to add a JPanel to a panel using BoxLayout. When I set a border to the subPanel, it deasapear ! Here is the code :

// Inside a class extending JPanel

privatevoid initComponents()

{

setLayout(new BoxLayout(this, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));

setBorder(BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder());

mandatoryPanel =new JPanel(new SpringLayout());

initMandatoryPanelComponents();

mandatoryPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(700, 150));

mandatoryPanel.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(700, 150));

mandatoryPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder());

add(mandatoryPanel);

}

When I comment the line where border is set, the panel is displayed correctly. Else, nothing is displayed.

Can anyone help me ?
