In JBuilder, create a new file called Frame1 then copy this code into it. It should give you a frame which will have a different icon in the frame title and an image in its pane.
Change the name of the icon it uses to any gif file that you have on your pc.
// START OF FILE
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Frame1 extends JFrame {
     JLabel jLabel1 = new JLabel();
     public Frame1() {
          try {
               jbInit();
          catch(Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Frame1 frame1 = new Frame1();
          frame1.pack();
          frame1.show();
     private void jbInit() throws Exception {
          ImageIcon myImage = new ImageIcon("c:/data.gif");
          this.setIconImage(myImage.getImage());
          jLabel1.setText("jLabel1");
          jLabel1.setIcon(myImage);
          this.getContentPane().add(jLabel1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
