Hello there,

Please review the following code segment....

/*************************************************************/
public class IMIEasternButtonPanel extends JPanel {

	private BoxLayout bl = new BoxLayout(this, BoxLayout.LINE_AXIS);
	private JButton m_btnUp, m_btnDown;

	public IMIEasternButtonPanel(){
		setLayout(bl);
		setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500,50));
		addChilds();
	}

	public void addChilds(){

		boolean b = FilesUtils.isFileExists("up.gif");  //b = true !!!
		Icon upIcon = null;
		upIcon = new ImageIcon("up.gif");
		m_btnUp = new JButton();
		m_btnUp.setIcon(upIcon);
		m_btnUp.setSize(50, 50);
		add(m_btnUp);
/*******************************************************/

Why can't I see the icon on the up button??? Moreover, the button does
not seems to get the correct size as I had set. It is more like a
oblong than a 50X50 square...

Many thanks!
