java - How to set background image for JPanel in netbeans?

i am using netbeans IDE problem is how to set background image for JPanel without using JLabel. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Answer

This is fairly straight forward.

public class ImagePanel extends JPanel{
    Image image;

    public ImagePanel(Image image){
        this.image = image;
    }

    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        g.drawImage(image, 0,0, this);
    }
}

If you want more complex have a look at this link. This has a couple of settings like fit image to panel...
