Why JDialog do not update its inset area?

[Allen]

public class OptionDialog extends JDialog {
...

public Insets getInsets() {
return new Insets(28, 10, 10, 10);
}

...
}

OptionDialog dlg = new OptionDialog();
dlg.pack();
dlg.setLocationRelativeTo(adaptee);
dlg.setSize(400, 400);
dlg.setVisible(true);

When the option dialog is shown, the inset area will not be painted,
i.e. the inset area looks same as
the parent pane of the option dialog.

But if I remove the getInsets method, the inset area will be painted.
Unfortunately, it is too small for me.

Pls help me.

Try a JPanel with an EmptyBorder, and..

Pls help me.

Please spell words fully (we can afford the extra
bytes, this is not SMS) and try not to sound so
pathetic.

Also note there is a forum specialised to deal with
GUI matters, 'comp.lang.java.gui'.
