See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jbutton.html
and
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/button.html

for some similar sample code that does work.

Hint: Every Component except the Frame/JFrame must be added to some
container to be visible.

When a newbie asks for help tracking a bug in a code snippet, the problem is usually is the code he did not post, hence the value of an SSCCE.

Thanks, I'd missed that. I think I might recommend calling pack() after
adding all components, then calling setMinimumSize() instead of
setSize(). That'll prevent the components from clipping if they take
more space, but will enlarge the window if it happens to be smaller.

As others have answered your question, I will only add that you should not
indent Usenet code examples with TAB characters, as they get ridiculously wide
for most newsreaders and gravely harm readability. You want your code to be
readable. Please use spaces, up to a maximum of four per indent level, for
indentation.
