How to set background image in Java?

I am trying to put a background image on my java gui, and I can't figure out how to do it. I've looked around and tried some code but I can't get it to work. I have the imageicon setup but I don't understand where I'm suppose to put this at. Please help!

Show us what you have tried, and explain exactly how it didn't work for you. — Matt Ball, Oct 02 '11 at 18:22
You give no detail as to what library you're working with or what you've tried, how it's not working, etc. Please correct these deficiencies. — Hovercraft Full Of Eels, Oct 02 '11 at 19:10

Read the section from the Swing tutorial on How to Use Icons for an example of displaying an icon.

Then, depending on your requirement, Background Panel explains how you can then use the JLabel with the icon as a background image.
