So this problem is really giving me a headache because for some reason last night when i was working on it, my code ran perfectly and my textfields would show up without a problem...
Go to bed, wake up, time to work on it again aaaaaand bam. Now my JtextFields only show up when i highlight them or click them or something...I was wondering what could be wrong?
My code is really just messy and crappy at this point while i figure out a better way to design my program...
I thought it was just eclipse but netbeans is giving me the same issue.

Your code only sets the bounds for 3 text fields but you add 5 text fields to the panel.
Don't use a null layout!!!
Use a proper layout manager and then you don't have to worry about making mistakes like this.
Also, follow Java naming conventions. Variable names do NOT start with an upper case character.
