Getting java to display more than 1 .add()

I've started learning basic Java and wanted to rewrite a Game Map Generator that I've once wrote in PHP. I've got part of it working fine (This is just the start), but whenever I want to display 2 things (using .add()), it will only display one of them. Heres my code;

public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame m1 = new JFrame();
    Container con = m1.getContentPane();
    Color c = new Color(16, 174, 0);
    con.setBackground(c);
    m1.setSize(mapWidth, mapHeight);
    m1.setTitle("ThomasMosey's Map Generator"); // Window Title
    m1.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    m1.add(new User());
    m1.add(new Grid());
    m1.setVisible(true);
}

It's only part of the code, but I was wondering if it's anything I've done wrong with .add there.

Thank you in advance.

This is the full code;

        g22.setColor(gridColor);
        int i22;
        for(i22 = 50; i22 <= 6000; i22 += 53) {
            g22.drawLine(0, i22, Map.mapWidth, i22+1);

    }
}

1. The default layout for a content pane is BorderLayout.
2. Add a component to a border layout with no constraint and it ends up in the CENTER.
3. Only one component can appear in each part of a border layout.

So try this instead..

m1.add(new User(), BorderLayout.NORTH);
m1.add(new Grid(), BorderLayout.CENTER);

Part of the problem is that custom components have a default preferred size of 0x0. Try this variant.

        g22.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
        Color gridColor = new Color(0, 84, 12);
        g22.setColor(gridColor);
        int i22;
        for(i22 = 50; i22 <= 6000; i22 += 53) {

The current layout of JFrame is BorderLayout and you are adding both these components at center. Try to change the layout.

Container con = m1.getContentPane();
con.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

or

m1.add(new User(),BorderLayout.NORTH);
m1.add(new Grid(),BorderLayout.CENTER);

EDIT: You have to override the setPreferredSize() method for User.

class User extends JComponent {
  public java.awt.Dimension getPreferredSize() { 
    return new java.awt.Dimension(100,100);
  }
}

AFAIR, content pane baqcking JFrame accepts only single child by default. You will have to set and configure some layout to have more than one child
