frame = new JFrame(title);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
frame.addKeyListener(new Keyboard());
frame.setSize(width, height);
frame.setResizable(resizable);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setContentPane(view);
view.setVisible(true);
System.out.println("set content pane");

public class View extends JPanel {

    public View(int width, int height) {
        super(true);
        setPreferredSize(new Dimension(width, height));
    }

    @Override
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        super.paint(g);

        System.out.println("paint");
    }
}

frame = new JFrame(title);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
frame.addKeyListener(new Keyboard());
frame.setSize(width, height);
frame.setResizable(resizable);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setContentPane(view);
view.setVisible(true);
System.out.println("set content pane");

public class View extends JPanel {

    public View(int width, int height) {
        super(true);
        setPreferredSize(new Dimension(width, height));
    }

    @Override
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        super.paint(g);

        System.out.println("paint");
    }
}

this is simplified code of what and when everything gets executed the console shows sometimes only 'set content pane' not paint the docs say the paint method gets called when you show a component so I tried doing so that's where the view.setVisible(true) comes from
