How do I force JPanels&JFrames to refresh?

The subject line basically says it all. How do I force a JPanel and a JFrame to refresh (redraw and display all visible components)?

Thanks!

try this:


panel.update(panel.getGraphics());
frame.update(frame.getGraphics());




at least it worked for some of my refresh problems.
