Simple Image Problem

[DELOCH]

PHP Code:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class ImageDraw extends JFrame
{
    public ImageDraw()
    {
        super("");
        setSize(300, 300);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setVisible(true);
    }
    public static void main(String[] args){new ImageDraw();}
}
class ImagePanel extends JPanel
{
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        Image im = new ImageIcon("image.jpg").getImage();
        g.drawImage(im, 0, 0, null);
    }
} 


the code above id a dumb code for placing an "image.jpg" onto the program...

somewhy it doesn't work...

I also tried using Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage() but it doesn't work(although when i checked it's getWidth, getHeight methods, they returned -1...<<error).

thanks ahead of time... images are a big part of making... anything
i know i can use bufferedimage but that's longer code...

I don't see you actually instantiating an ImagePanel anywhere and putting it in the frame. Try adding something like:

super("");
setSize(300, 300);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
--> setContentPane( new ImagePanel() );
setVisible(true);
