Load jpg in image object

Question

Hi, i'm trying to create an image object from a jpg file:
public static void main(String[] args)
Image img;
Toolkit t;
t = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
img = t.getImage("C:\\Documents and Settings\\m.lipreri\\Desktop\\ciao.jpg");
System.out.println("img: "+img.toString());
Frame f = new Frame("Es1_Im");
ImageFrame IM = new ImageFrame(f,img);
IM.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter(){
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e){
System.exit(0);
IM.setSize(500,400);
IM.setVisible(true);
class ImageFrame extends Frame{
Frame f;
Image im;
//costruttore
ImageFrame(Frame f,Image im){
this.f = f;
this.im = im;
public void paint(Graphics g){
g.drawImage(im,0,0,this);
}but this code doesn't show me anithing in the applet, the image path is right, i've tried to past the path in my browser and i can see the image.
thnx

Images get loaded asynchronously, so the image
probably isn't loaded completely when you try to
display it. See java.awt.MediaTracker or use
javax.swing.ImageIcon for loading.I could be wrong, but isn't that the ancient way of doing it? I haven't used MediaTracker in ages. Just use ImageIcon. It's the easist way I know to work with images.
