See: How to Use Icons (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Using Swing Components)

Or you can also use the ImageIO class.

import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

public class ReadingImage {
public void getImage() {
try {
BufferedImage image =
ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("Sunset.jpg")) ;

// Do something with the image.
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
ReadingImage ri = new ReadingImage();
ri.getImage();
}
}
