How to make a background image

[Purple Turtle]

Im making a gui and want to put a image in the background like a water mark so that i can make panels, labels etc over it. Its a simple frame and this is what i have so far..

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class MyfaceProfilePage extends JFrame
{
private Toolkit kit = null;
public MyfaceProfilePage ()
{
super ("MyfaceProfilePage");
setSize (860, 700);
setResizable (false);
setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

kit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit ();
Dimension screenSize = kit.getScreenSize ();
setLocation (screenSize.width / 6, screenSize.height / 19);


Container container = getContentPane ();
container.setLayout (new FlowLayout ());


show ();
setVisible (true);
}


public static void main (String[] args)
{
new MyfaceProfilePage ();
}
}

can anyone help me out with a code to make the background image

create a JPanel subclass and override paintComponent(Graphics g). use the drawImage method of the graphics instance to draw your image!
see: Graphics (Java Platform SE 6)

example:
Panel with background image : Panel*«*Swing JFC*«*Java

btw: show() is deprecated, use setVisible(true) instead of that
