FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.3.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-b24)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1-b24, mixed mode)

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]



A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When inserting components or icons programmatically into a
JTextPane, nothing shows up unless the JTextPane is
editable. This is confusing because it's perfectly
possible to insert text programmatically into the JTextPane
whether it's set to be editable or not. This feature also
does not appear in the API.

This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class JTextPaneTest extends JFrame{
JTextPane pane;
JButton button = new JButton("Test");

public JTextPaneTest (){
pane = new JTextPane();
pane.setEditable(false);
pane.insertComponent(button);
getContentPane().add(pane);
setSize(200,200);
addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
}
});
setVisible(true);
}

public static void main(String[] args){
JTextPaneTest test = new JTextPaneTest();
}

}// JTextPaneTest
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
Set the JTextPane to editable, then set it back to
uneditable after you add the component.
