Problem with GUI in java applet using swing in eclipse

[er.raj]

I am trying to make a chat like GUI in eclipse using the swing library.
The basic code is working with one small problem. When I run the program, the graphics are not displayed. But, when I click on the window boundary or maximize it, they show up. I can't figure out whats the issue here.

This is my code

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.io.*;

public class TextArea1 extends JApplet implements ActionListener {
  private static final String NULL = null;
  JTextField Input;
  JTextArea Echo;
  JScrollPane scrolltxt ;
  Container Panel;
  LayoutManager Layout;

  public TextArea1 () {
	  JFrame frame = new JFrame("Counselling centre");
	  frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
	  setLayout(new BorderLayout());

	Input = new JTextField (20);
    Echo = new JTextArea ("\n");
    JLabel label=new JLabel("YOU :");
    JLabel label1=new JLabel("WELCOME");
    Layout = new FlowLayout ();
    Panel = getContentPane ();
    Panel.setLayout(null);
    Echo.setEditable (false); 
    scrolltxt = new JScrollPane(Echo);
    Input.addActionListener (this);
    
    label1.setBounds(40, 10, 220, 30);
    label.setBounds(20, 400, 220, 30);
    Input.setBounds(70, 400, 450, 30);
	scrolltxt.setBounds(40, 45, 500, 300);
	  
    Echo.setLineWrap (true);
    Panel.add(label1);
    Panel.add(label);
    Panel.add (Input);
    Panel.add (scrolltxt);
   

    frame.add(Panel);
    frame.setSize(600,600);
    frame.setVisible(true);

  }

  public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)  {
    String Reply;
    Reply =  Input.getText();
	Input.setText("");
    Echo.append("YOU : "+ Reply + "\n\n");
    
   
  }
public static void main(String[] args){
  TextArea1 obj = new TextArea1();
}
    
}

Any help on this will be appreciated.

Okay so the problem seems to be solved now.
Removing "extends JApplet" fixed it.
