Java programmers look inside!

Hi, for the programming course at school I need to figure out how to display a jpg image in java in an application, not applet, at the end of a game that I wrote. Can anyone help me out? thanks!

not applet,

can you at least use swing?

i'm ******** at swing....(I can only do really basic level programming) but can you post some demo code? the stuff i find on google won't compile..maybe i'm doing something wrong. I'm using ConTEXT and compiling stuff through there.

especially look for something like

jPanel1 = new JPanel();
jPanel1.setBorder(new javax.swing.border.EtchedBorder());
jPanel1.setBounds(408, 164, 160, 170);
getContentPane().add(jPanel1);

jLabel1 = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("resources/legend.png"));//new ImageIcon("resources/icon_thing.gif").getImage());
jLabel1.setBounds(0, 0, 200, 200);
jLabel1.setVisible(true);
jPanel1.add(jLabel1);

I need all that to display one lousy picture? yowch

definately not

tihs is enough

jPanel1 = new JPanel();
jPanel1.setBorder(new javax.swing.border.EtchedBorder());
jPanel1.setBounds(408, 164, 160, 170);
getContentPane().add(jPanel1);

jLabel1 = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("resources/legend.png"));//new ImageIcon("resources/icon_thing.gif").getImage());
jLabel1.setBounds(0, 0, 200, 200);
jLabel1.setVisible(true);
jPanel1.add(jLabel1);

Damn, that's still close to a dozen lines to display a pic!

Some of those lines are just for visual enhancements such as the setBorder and the setBounds method. I just squeeze it into 4 lines.

i got it working! Thanks a lot guys!

jPanel1.add(jLabel1);

Java seems so efficient suddenly.

well you can go this

getContentPane().add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon("resources/legend.png")));


and i guess you never used any of the real programming languages like 10-15 years ago when displaying JPG took close to 2000 lines.

now they make it too easy for newbies they dont appriciate how easy they have it.

do(whatImThinking);

Thats how java is. If you want to do this stuff with less code, choose a different language, that or find some java libraries that will make it easier.
