Setting the icon on the main frame of an application

[Catriona McCann]

Hi !
I would like to know how you can set the icon of an application to your own gif rather than the standard.

[Thomas Paul]

try this:
myFrame.setIconImage(myImage);
JFrame inherits this method from java.awt.Frame

or if you know the name of file do it directly:!!!
setIconImage(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("image.gif"));

Thank you Alexander - your suggestion, unlike some others that use ImageIcon, also work when scripting Java in the Mozilla Rhino JavaScript interpreter.
