Draw Line in a JLabel and add as JPanel in a JFram

im very new in Java so sorry for any stupid question.

Here is my problem:

I just want to draw a line - if I add the JLabel Myline() directly as labelto the JFrame MyFrame, then it will be showing in the resulting JFrame-Dialogwindow, but if I add MyLine() to the JPanel panel and panel to MyFrame then there is no Line.

Why?

    }

    private class MyLine extends JLabel {

        int width;

        public MyLine(int width) {
            this.width=width;
        }

        @Override
        protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
            super.paintComponent(g);
            g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
            g.drawLine(0, 0, getWidth(), 0); 
            g.dispose();


        }

    }

    public MyFrame() {

        JLabel label=new MyLine(getWidth());
        JPanel panel=new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());

        setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1));

        panel.add(label);


        add(new JButton("A"));
        add(new JButton("B"));
        add(panel);


        pack();

        setVisible(true);


    }



}

MyFrame has no preferred size until pack() interrogates the preferred sizes of the enclosed components. Give MyLine a preferred size to see the effect. See also Initial Threads.
