Image figure = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit( ).getImage(filename);
getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(new ImageComponent(figure)));

Hi there

The easiest way to add a picture to your frame is to put the picture onto a label like this...

public ImageIcon SENDicon = new ImageIcon("./images/toolbar/send.gif");

Then you make your JLabel and use the methods that you find in the API to set the Image. (PS, the image in this case is an icon)

Look in the API's and then ask if you need more help.

I forgot to mention onething not sure if this will have an effect on how it should be done. I need to have and image on the left and a text field on the right. Thanks.

OK, well then you have a JPanel with a LayoutManager. To this you add the label and the textfield to whatever side you need.
