So basically, you need some kind of container that lives in the scroll pane (commonly known as the view).
To this you should add your images.

This example includes WrapLayout. The scaling is done for speed and simplicity, but the method used is unavisable, take a look at this for a better method.
I would normally load and scale the images in a background thread, like a SwingWorker, but this is an example of the idea.
