How to call Jframe into main Jfram

Question

I have working on stock market project. I want to make desktop app which shows stock markets chart and news. I have made so far a main frame (class) which has RSS and the second is applcationframe which shows candle stick chart (2 class). I would like to place the chart into my main frame. How can place it into my main frame/ (or how can I call application frame into frame). I will truly appreciate all advices. Here is the code for main frame:

 import java.awt.BorderLayout; public class Boeing extends JFrame { private JPanel contentPane; /** * Launch the application. */ public static void main(String[] args) { EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { try { Boeing frame = new Boeing(); frame.setVisible(true); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }); } public static String readRSS(String urlAddress) { try{ URL rssUrl = new URL(urlAddress); BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(rssUrl.openStream())); String sourceCode = ""; String line; while((line = in.readLine())!=null) { if (line.contains("<title>")){ int firstPos = line.indexOf("<title>"); String temp = line.substring(firstPos); temp = temp.replace("<title>", ""); int lastPos = temp.indexOf("</title>"); temp = temp.substring(0,lastPos); sourceCode += temp + "\\n" + "\\n"; } } in.close(); return sourceCode; } catch (MalformedURLException ue){ System.out.println("Malformed URL"); } catch (IOException ioe) { System.out.println("Something went wrong reading the cotents"); } return null; } public Boeing() { setResizable(false); setExtendedState(Frame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH); setTitle("StockIn"); setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); setBounds(100, 100, 1350, 695); contentPane = new JPanel(); contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5)); setContentPane(contentPane); contentPane.setLayout(null); JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar(); menuBar.setBounds(0, 0, 1280, 22); contentPane.add(menuBar); JMenu mnStockin = new JMenu("StockIn"); menuBar.add(mnStockin); JMenuItem mntmQuitStockin = new JMenuItem("Quit StockIn"); mntmQuitStockin.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) { System.exit(0); } }); JMenuItem mntmHome = new JMenuItem("Home"); mntmHome.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { Intro intro = new Intro(); intro.setVisible(true); dispose(); } }); mnStockin.add(mntmHome); JSeparator separator = new JSeparator(); mnStockin.add(separator); mnStockin.add(mntmQuitStockin); JMenu mnLse = new JMenu("LSE"); menuBar.add(mnLse); JMenuItem mntmBoeing = new JMenuItem("BOEING CO"); mntmBoeing.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) { Boeing boeing = new Boeing(); boeing.setVisible(true); dispose(); } }); mnLse.add(mntmBoeing); JSeparator separator_16 = new JSeparator(); mnTSE.add(separator_16); mnTSE.add(mntmSony); TextArea textArea = new TextArea(readRSS("http://boeing.mediaroom.com/news-releases-statements?pagetemplate=rss")); textArea.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() { @Override public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent arg0) { } }); textArea.setEditable(false); textArea.setBounds(684, 396, 596, 277); contentPane.add(textArea); Panel panel = new Panel(); panel.addComponentListener(new ComponentAdapter() { @Override public void componentResized(ComponentEvent arg0) { } }); panel.setBackground(Color.PINK); panel.setBounds(684, 28, 596, 368); contentPane.add(panel); /* JLabel dice1 = new JLabel(); ImageIcon one = new ImageIcon("/Users/odzayaBatsaikhan/Desktop/chart.png"); dice1.setLocation(20, 100); dice1.setSize(1000, 400); dice1.setIcon(one); contentPane.add(dice1);*/ } } 

Here is separate Candlestick chart:

If i want to just create a method to show charts in main frame, how can do this?

JFreeChart is used by IB TWS for example to draw charts.

You can insert HTML code into swing using .
