background images in java applications - HELP
so i want to put a background image in my application, so all my text is on top of it. however, i must be doing something wrong because its not even running. HELPPPPPP.
heres my code
Code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.Image;
public class ISUPROJECT
{
public static void main (String[] args)
throws java.io.IOException
{
java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit ();
Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit ().getImage (gutmann_cord.jpg);

Sorry this is like my 3rd time posting about this, but it's very very urgent and no one has replied! please help, it's driving me mad. |
