A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I have found that the paint method does not work correctly under JAVA 1.5
if you try to use it for drawing on the main panel (using getContentPane method).

Please try this application I have developed to understand what I'm talking about. run the application under java 1.5 and java 1.4.2. Press on the middle button (ToolTipText: "how to win"). and see the difference between the two versions.
