create a custom JPanel, e.g.

public class BackgroundJPanel extends JPanel {

Image backImage;

public BackgroundJPanel() {

super();

//load the image

}

public void paint(Graphics g) {

//g.drawImage(image, ....)

//If you want to tile the image, repeat the image many times

}

}

Now, you can use this class instead of JPanel
