2) You have not told what type of image is. Here it means effectively the format/extension. Is it a "common" .jpg/.png/.gif ? .... or some other more exotic format?
3) You have not told if the application must "know" exactly about that image or if the image can/should be choosen by the user.
4) You have not explained, in general, how the user interface should appear.
5) You have not even tried to write some code ....

1.I have to create a swing application.
2.The image is jpeg
3.The image should be specified in the program itself.
4.The UI should be with only one button in it.
5.Since i am new to tjhis java, i am in learning phase. So coild you please help me out.

Here's the intro page to the Swing tutorials.

The Working with Graphics lesson should cover the essential elements you need to accomplish what you've described.

Come back when you have code and need help.

Please let me know whats wrong with my code, My code is as follows:
