    Use an ActionListener for the button, load the image and display it in a JLabel.

    You'll have to use multiple libraries, awt and swing. Here's some easy anti-OOP code I created for you:

    ...

    If you don't understand something. feel free to ask me. Also, you should create a folder in the project (if you're using an IDE) called "res". This is where you put your images/etc. Then, to tell Java were the image is, simply write "res/image.png". Take note that actionPerformed cannot be placed in the main.

    Feel free to hit the "Thanks" (displayed to the left of the screen below my info) or something. This is the first time I'm helping someone out with code!

    Note: This thread does not belong to "What's wrong with my code?". Consider moving it to Java Theory & Questions!

    I know what it is, I got a little excited to make example code to someone for the first time. "My thoughts exactly" wasn't maybe the most correct answer, but I have something to say in my defense: "#YOLO #SWAG". I rest my case.

    --- Update ---

    I'm glad to help. Spoon feeding is illegal in 42 countries, though. So you'll have to make it by yourself next time.
