Thread: Adding image to my simple window

Hi,

I have made a simple window using the following code:

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*; 
 
class CreateWindow{
 
	public static void main(String[]args){
 
		//creating the window
		JFrame frame = new JFrame("My Window");
 
		//make the program terminate when the window is closed
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(frame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); 
 
		//set the window location
		frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null); 
 
		//set the window size
		frame.setSize(400,200);
 
		//create a JLabel object (a graphical component)
		JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello");
 
		//get ahold of the windows content pane and add the graphical component to it
		frame.getContentPane().add(label);
 
		//set the window to visible
		frame.setVisible(true);
 
 
	}
 
 
}

Could you tell the simplest way to getting an image displayed in my window. I assumed I would add an image to the JLabel object, but I dont know how to do this.

Thanks, do you know of a good tutorial which shows how to make the icon move on screen when a key is pressed.

Thanks for the links.

haha, i know, i have come across most of the links people have provided for me on here. I like to ask on here because people on here sometimes provide easy to understand explanations, without tooooo much technical jargon
