Accessing one class from another class through swing

[kbyrne]

I've got these 2 classes, one of them holds the gui and is called MainGui.java. and the other "Main.java" instanciates this class among other functionalities. I want to add to call a function in MainGui from the Main class and add to a Jpanel in MainGui. Any tips or advice on how best to do this?

Thanks

Code:

class Main {
    // Instantiate an instance of MainGui and save a
    // reference to it in a member variable ("gui").
    // Use this reference/variable to call methods
    // and access fields in the MainGui class.
    MainGui gui = new MainGui();

    public Main() {
        // Use member variable to call method in MainGui.
        gui.addToPanel(new JPanel());
    }
}

class MainGui extends JFrame {
    JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0,4));

    public MainGui() {
        getContentPane().add(panel);
        setDefaultCloseOperation
        setSize
        setLocation
        setVisible
    }

    public void addToPanel(JComponent c) {
        panel.add(c);
        panel.revalidate();
    }
}
