    I have a problem with a JComponent object. basically i have a JComponent object already created & i need to put a couple of JPanels into the GUI beside it. dont know if im explaining myself very well here.

    right what im asking is : id there a parent that will take both JComponent and JPanel or do i need to change the JComponent to something else to make it work. ive already tried changing it to JFrame, MainFrame etc but nothing seems to work.

    i tryed using a JSplitPane but that dosent seem to want to take the JComponent. i was thinking of JRootPane or something similar

    Im not really sure what you mean here. Can you clarify it a bit?
    is there a parent that will take both JComponent and JPanel

    Well JPanel extends JComponent, so Im a bit confused as to what you mean.

    You could put your JComponent and your two JPanels in a JFrame, or even another JPanel.

    I often use http://www.javaalmanac.com for this type of question. It's got thousands of little code snippets.
