I create component (the code below) which draw filled green rectangle. When I run this Applet in IE with Sun Java Plug-in 1.4.0, I see white screen without green rectangle. I see on console

			

			start painting
			

			painting is finished
			

		

That is MyComp.paint(Graphics) method was invoked. When I place mouse over applet the green rectangle is appeared (and there is no new messages on console).

What's wrong with my code ? Why is there such strange behaviour ? How can I correct this problem ?

I doesn't see this problem on MS JVM and Sun Java Plug-n 1.3.

Thanks beforhand

Here is code of applet and the component:

			

			import java.awt.*;
			

			

			public class Test extends java.applet.Applet {
			

			

			public void init() {
			

			setLayout(new BorderLayout());
			

			add (new MyComp(),BorderLayout.CENTER);
			

			}
			

			

			}
			

			

			class MyComp extends Component {
			

			

			public void paint(Graphics g) {
			

			System.out.println("start painting");
			

			super.paint(g);
			

			g.setColor(Color.green);
			

			g.fillRect(10,10,30,30);
			

			System.out.println("painting is finished");
			

			}
			

			

			public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
			

			return new Dimension(100,100);
			

			}
