This is my final project in my class. However, I wanted to create a JLabel and apply a bold font and make it 42 pt and make it red. so:

JLabel win = new JLabel("YOU WIN!");
win.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 42));
win.setForeground(Color.red);
however this does not seem to work for unknown reasons. I say unknown because these are the errors:

EDIT:
It works when I take win.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 42)); and win.setForeground(Color.red); and place it before the line contentArea.add(win);

This is strange.. How come it works there but not up near the top?
