This is correct, your xml does not contain a dialog. The optionpane 
cannot be used that way. Have a look at the Javadocs of JOptionPane for 
that. IMHO the joptionpane tag should'nt be a valid swixml tag anyway.

Remove the <optionpane>-Element around your elements with a panel first. 
Then give the returned container to a JOptionPane.showXxxxDialog(...) as 
the message parameter (Object type). This is the way I usually render 
small (four, six elements) swixml files.
