Buttons and Graphics

Question

I am a new Java programmer and am a young java programmer. I have trying o figure out how to add a JButton where I want and how big but I can't seem to do it right. The things is I have been able to put the JButton were and how big I want it but it gets rid of everything that is displayed using BufferedImage and Graphics. So is there a speical way to make it show up were and how big I want the JButton to be and to keep the Grapchics. Here is my code so far if it helps to see it:
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.swing.JButton;
public class Start extends Component{
     BufferedImage naruto;
     BufferedImage sakura;
     BufferedImage sasuke;
     static JButton start = new JButton("HI");
     public void paint(Graphics g){
          g.setColor(Color.GREEN);
          g.fillRect(0, 0, 800, 800);
          g.drawImage(naruto,300,300,100,100,null);
          g.drawImage(sakura,200,300,100,100,null);
          g.drawImage(sasuke,100,300,100,100,null);
     public Start() {
     try {
          naruto = ImageIO.read(new File("naruto.jpg"));
          sakura = ImageIO.read(new File("sakura.jpg"));
          sasuke = ImageIO.read(new File("sasuke.jpg"));
     } catch (IOException e) {
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          JFrame frame = new JFrame();
          frame.setTitle("Anime Clash");
          frame.add(new Start());
          frame.setSize(800,600);
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.setVisible(true);
}

Ok I will reexplain. I want to add a JButton to my frame, but I also have a Graphics g. Note that you don't add a button directly to a frame. You add it to some container, like a JPanel, and so on.
Again, I strongly suggest you separate your buttons from the component that is doing the drawing.
For example:
//1
JToolBar tb = new JToolBar();
tb.add(someButton);
//2
MyDrawingPanel drawing = ...
3//
frame..getContentPane().add(tb, BorderLayout.NORTH);
frame..getContentPane().add(drawing , BorderLayout.CENTER);The buttons will no longer get in the way, and any problems you are having with your drawing panel are because you aren't following the steps I gave in a previous post.
