Images inside of buttons

Question

I know that I can put a small image in a JButton with: new ImageIcon("imageName.fig"), but is there a way to put an entire image inside a button. I want an image that I have to be a button and the button to be formed to the size of that image. Is this possible?

Answer 1

This should work. You'll need an image called test.jpg.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class TestApp extends JFrame
     public static void main(String[] args)
          new TestApp().setVisible(true);
     private TestApp()
          setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          ImageIcon im = new ImageIcon("test.jpg");
          JButton b = new JButton(im);
          getContentPane().add(b);
          pack();
}
