Drawing a maze from multidimensional array

Question

Hi i have to create a maze using a properties file. The program has to be constructed using mvc. I have managed to read the information in the file using a string tokenizer and convert each value to an int. So my properties file is being read in the MazeStructure file which implements my model class etc. How do i get the maze structure to my gui and draw this in the shape of a maze.
Thanks

Here;-import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Maze extends JFrame{
   int [][] mazePlan = {{0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0},
                        {0,0,0,1,1,1,0,0},
                        {0,0,0,1,0,1,0,0},
                        {0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0},
                        {0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0},
                        {0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0},
                        {0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0},
                        {0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0}};
   MazePanel mp = new MazePanel();
   public Maze(){
      setTitle("Maze");
          getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout() );
      setSize(200, 200);
      setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
      getContentPane().add(mp);
   public class MazePanel extends JPanel{
      MazePanel(){
         setLayout(new GridLayout(mazePlan.length, mazePlan[0].length));     
         JPanel [][]wall = new JPanel[mazePlan.length][mazePlan[0].length];
         for(int i=0; i<mazePlan.length; i++){
            for(int j=0; j<mazePlan[0].length;j++){
               wall[i][j] = new JPanel();
               if(mazePlan[i][j]==0)
               wall[i][j].setBackground(Color.darkGray);
               else wall[i][j].setBackground(Color.lightGray);
               add(wall[i][j]);
   public static void main(String [] args){
      new Maze().show();
}
