How to fill a JPanel with a texture from a image.

Question

Hello,
I have a xxx.jpg file. I'd like to use this image to set the background texture of a JPanel.
Can someone give me a piece of code to do that.
Many thanks in advance

Since I haven't had no response, I have investigated more and finally solved my problem. Maybe it may help other people to have the answer.
Here is the piece of code which works fine.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import javax.imageio.*; 
public class TestTexture extends JPanel
    java.io.File filetexture    = new  java.io.File("mytexture.jpg");          
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
     super.paintComponent(g);
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
        if (g2==null)
            System.out.println("error");
            return;
        try
             BufferedImage  mImage = ImageIO.read(filetexture);
            java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D tr = new   java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D.Double(0, 0, mImage.getWidth(), mImage.getHeight());
            TexturePaint tp = new TexturePaint(mImage, tr);
                 g2.setPaint(tp);
                java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D  r =  (java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D)this.getBounds(); 
                 g2.fill(r);
   catch (java.io.IOException ex) {}
}
