     There's a containment hierarchy of displayed things: You start
with a top-level container (JFrame, JDialog, ...) that contains lower-
level sub-components (JPanels, JTrees, ...) that in turn contain
still lower-level components (JButtons, more JPanels, ...).  That
is, components are nested in a tree.

     It follows that a given component can appear at only one spot
in the tree: It is contained in exactly one container, or is a
top-level component that is not contained at all.  This way, the
contained component can have (for example) *a* position relative
to its container, instead of a whole Map of "I'm *here* in this
container, *there* in that container, ..."  (Swing might have
required a container to maintain a list of contained objects *and*
their positions and sizes, but it didn't; positions and sizes and
so on are attributes of the contained objects.)

     To maintain tree-ness, when you add a component to a container
Swing automatically removes it from any container it already belonged
to.  So, if you have a static JLabel and you add it to one CropImage
instance, it cannot simultaneously appear in another CropImage: It
can be in one or the other (or neither), but not in both.  Since
you're probably anticipating only one CropImage instance this may
not seem a big deal, may not even *be* a big deal (were it not for
the EDT issue), but it's certainly weird.
