The two examples shown below are same. Both are supposed to produce same result e.g. generate the coordinates of images displayed on JPanel. Example 1, works perfectly (print the coordinates of images), however example 2 returning 0 for the coordinate.

I was wondering why because, I have put the setvisible (true) after adding the panel, in both examples. The only difference is that example 1 used extends JPanel and example 2 extends JFrame

EXAMPLE 1:

    public class Grid extends JPanel{
       public static void main(String[] args){
          JFrame jf=new JFrame();
          jf.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);      
          final Grid grid = new Grid();
          jf.add(grid);
          jf.pack();

          Component[] components = grid.getComponents();        
          for (Component component : components) {
           System.out.println("Coordinate: "+ component.getBounds());       
          }   

          jf.setVisible(true);        
        }
    }

EXAMPLE 2:

public class Grid extends JFrame {

  public Grid () {
    setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
    GridBagLayout m = new GridBagLayout();
    Container c = getContentPane();
    c.setLayout (m);
    GridBagConstraints con = new GridBagConstraints();

    //construct the JPanel
    pDraw = new JPanel();
    ...
    m.setConstraints(pDraw, con);
    pDraw.add (new GetCoordinate ()); // call new class to generate the coordinate
    c.add(pDraw);

    pack();
    setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
       new Grid();
    }
   }
