Using image as background

Question

hi,
I'm having a little problem, I don't think it's very difficult but the search on this forum is down a.t.m.
Therefore I'm hoping you guys can help :-)
Like the title already discribes i want to use an Image as background of a JPanel (or on another Frame if it isn't possible on this one) and still be able to put JLabels, JTextfields, etc. on the JPanel with a LayoutManager.
To show what i mean:
-->i want to do something similar to this code
JPanel test=new JPanel(new BorderLayout()));
test.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
--->but instead of setting a Color as Background i want to set an Image :)
greetings

The search facility may be down, but you are searching the wrong forum anyway. This is a Swing question and should be posted in the Swing forum.
But since you made the effort to search, here is a simple example:
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("???.jpg");
JPanel panel = new JPanel()
     public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
          //  Dispaly image at at full size
          g.drawImage(icon.getImage(), 0, 0, null);
          super.paintComponent(g);
panel.setOpaque( false );
