Silly question, how to display a bitmap in a JDialog?

i think the easiest way to achieve this is use a JLabel with an icon displaying the bitmap. You should write an utility method to create the Icon:

public static ImageIcon createIcon(String iconName) {

URL iconURL = getResource(iconName);

if(iconURL == null) return null;

ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(iconURL);

if(icon == null || icon.getIconWidth() == -1) {

System.err.println("Failed to load '" + iconName);

}

return icon;

}

public static URL getResource(String resourceName) {

return Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(resourceName);

}

Then you say:

JLabel label = new JLabel(createIcon("images/myIcon.gif"));

and all you have to do is place the label in the layout of your dialog.
