Which is the right one to use for Swing components? I have always used
JPanels with a method paint(Graphics g) and then just called that
method using 'repaint()'. But after reading some of the discussions
here I found out that the correct way to go is to use
paintComponent(Graphics g). Why is this? What is the difference
between the two methods? Thanks for any advice.
