How do I properly display radio buttons on the screen along with other elements? (images attached) - Java GUI using NetBeans

I am trying to create a pizza ordering system where the user is presented with two choices for pizza sauces (tomato and barbeque). I have already created the GUI and have already coded the design for the radio buttons, but I am not sure how to display the radio buttons on screen along with other elements. I have tried placing it within the paint code and the main aswell, but it changes the colour of the GUI.
I have attached two images. First one is the GUI which is meant to have the radio buttons placed underneath the text (pizza, base&sauce, topping).
Second one is the GUI I get when I add in radio button code.
//Code
package pizzaorder2;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
/**

public class PizzaOrder2 extends JFrame {

"Aussie",
"Vegie", "Hawaiian"};

crust"};
static String[] topping = {"None", "Pepperoni", "Salami", "Ham",
"Bacon", "Chicken", "Onion"};
static String tomatoString = "Tomato";
static String barbequeString = "Barbeque";
#Override
public void paint(Graphics g) {
super.paint(g);
g.setColor(Color.WHITE);

Exit a JPanel or a GlassPane when we click outside it

Days ago i asked for help to put a JPanel on top of the other CardLayout panels, with the help of one of the users i achieved it using GlassPane, so thanks to him, but now i wanna close it whenever i click outside it(in other windows of the applications or components) because its stuck there until i click settings button, how can i achieve that? I have tried with focus lost and gained but that doesn't work with the panel so what am i supposed to do, here is my piece of code..
JPanel settingsPanel = new JPanel();
settingsPanel.setLayout(null);
settingsPanel.setPreferredSize(
new Dimension(180, 260));
JLabel lblSettingsTitle = new JLabel("Settings");
lblSettingsTitle.setFont(new Font("SansSerif", Font.BOLD |

lblSettings.setIcon(new

lblSettings.setBounds(210, 600, 50, 50);

I've slightly modified my previous example, so the settings panel goes closed on the click outside it.

text in textfield is displayed but wont change font when choosing in combobox

This code is about user inserting text in text field and transfer the text to label then user can choose font style in JComboBox where the text being displayed will changed font if the user choose font.
package hw;

import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.event.ItemEvent;
import java.awt.event.ItemListener;
import javax.swing.JComboBox;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

import javax.swing.JTextField;
public class HW {
public static void main(String[] args) {
/*from this code is adding the frame, label, textfield, panels, panel background color and the location of the labels and textfields*/
String [] cb = {"Comic Sans MS", "Times New Roman", "Arial Black"};
JFrame frames = new JFrame();
frames.setVisible(true);
frames.setSize(700, 500);
frames.setResizable(false);
frames.setLocation(170, 100);
JPanel panels = new JPanel();
frames.add(panels);
panels.setBackground(new Color(40, 136, 168));
panels.setLayout(null);
JTextField tf1 = new JTextField();
panels.add(tf1);
tf1.setBounds(90, 150, 100, 25);
JLabel label1 = new JLabel("ENTER TEXT");
panels.add(label1);
label1.setBounds(100, 30, 150, 100);
JLabel label2 = new JLabel("FONT STYLE");
panels.add(label2);
label2.setBounds(400, 30, 150, 100);
JComboBox combo = new JComboBox(cb);
panels.add(combo);
combo.setBounds(400, 150, 150, 25);
JLabel label3 = new JLabel("");
panels.add(label3);
label3.setBounds(310, 250, 150, 100);
label3.setText("");
/* this part below is the itemlistener and itemevent, i dont know the if this part below is correct because the font in the inserted text wont change but the text being insert in textfield is showing up in the jlabel*/
combo.addItemListener(new ItemListener() {
#Override
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent event){
String word;
if (event.getStateChange()==ItemEvent.SELECTED){
label3.setText(word=tf1.getText());
label3.setFont(new Font("Comic Sans MS", Font.PLAIN, 14));
}
else if (event.getStateChange()==ItemEvent.SELECTED) {
label3.setText(word=tf1.getText());
label3.setFont(new Font("Times New Roman", Font.PLAIN, 14));
}
else if (event.getStateChange()==ItemEvent.SELECTED) {
label3.setText(word=tf1.getText());
label3.setFont(new Font("Arial Black", Font.PLAIN, 14));
}
/* the else and else if statement is not working, i dont know how to correct this problem*/
}
}
});
}
}
I have trouble correcting this problem, I dont know where is the main source of the problem why fonts wont change if they being choose in JComboBox.

This fixes the multiple logic problems in the itemStateChanged method (and works for each of the fonts). I would typically use an ActionListener for combo boxes, but YMMV.
combo.addItemListener(new ItemListener() {
#Override
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent event) {
String fontName = combo.getSelectedItem().toString();
if (event.getStateChange() == ItemEvent.SELECTED) {
label3.setText(tf1.getText());
label3.setFont(new Font(fontName, Font.PLAIN, 14));
}
}
});

How do I remove a component from a JPanel? and then redisplay the frame?

Some context for this code,
what I am trying to do is create a validation warning if the input containts "" as a value,
so if an error is displayed it displays the message.
If it is valid it does not display a message,
so how do I remove the message when the textField is valid?
The message is a JPanel that contains a JLabel with the text in it,
I add this this JPanel to the frame when it is not valid,
and I am trying to remove it when it is valid.
So what am I doing wrong here?
I am at a basic level with Swing.

The easiest way is to simply adjust the visibility (JComponent#setVisible( false ) ).
If you really want to remove the component completely, you have to remove and revalidate, as documented in the Container#remove method
This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy. If the container has already been displayed, the hierarchy must be validated thereafter in order to reflect the changes.
which results in code like
panel.remove( componentToRemove );
panel.revalidate();
panel.repaint();
As a side note: please replace the null layout and those setBounds call by a proper LayoutManager. You might want to take a look excellent 'Nested layout example' available on SO to see what is possible with layout managers. The Swing tag info on SO contains some extra useful links when starting to work with layout managers

yourpanel.setVisible(false); should hide your panel, where "yourPanel" is your JPanel instance

It's not finding your images. Are you sure that you have your images in the same relative position? Are they in the same location as the MainForm.class file? Also I would take exception to the comment that it is easier to create a GUI with NetBeans than Eclipse. I've used both and find both fine to use, but I recommend you avoid using any code generation software until you know Swing well. For instance, you would do well to learn how to use the Swing/AWT layout managers and avoiding using null layout/setBounds.

Your program can't find the file "SHA_logo.gif", so your new ImageIcon(...) is new ImageIcon(null) and that is causing the NullPointerException.
