Converting a image file (JPG or BMP or any other) to an Image object

Question

Hello, does anyone have an idea of how I could convert a image file (JPG, BMP, GIF or any other) or even a Corel Draw (.CDR) file to a java Image object?
Thanks in advance

Demo:
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ImageResized {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        URL url = new URL("http://today.java.net/jag/bio/JagHeadshot.jpg");
        BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(url);
        Icon icon = new ImageIcon(image);
        JLabel label = new JLabel(icon);
        JFrame f = new JFrame();
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.getContentPane().add(label);
        f.pack();
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setVisible(true);
}
