How to create a JLabel with an image icon in Java?

Let us create a label with image icon −

JLabel label = new JLabel("SUBJECT "); label.setIcon(new ImageIcon("E:\new.png"));

Now, create another component −

JTextArea text = new JTextArea(); text.setText("Add subject here...");

Align the components with GridBagLayout −

panel.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());

The following is an example to center a label with an image icon −

Example

package my; import java.awt.GridBagLayout; import javax.swing.BorderFactory; import javax.swing.ImageIcon; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.JTextArea; import javax.swing.WindowConstants; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       JFrame frame = new JFrame("Demo Frame");       JPanel panel = new JPanel();       JLabel label = new JLabel("SUBJECT ");       label.setIcon(new ImageIcon("E:\new.png"));       JTextArea text = new JTextArea();       text.setText("Add subject here...");       panel.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());       panel.add(label);       panel.add(text);       panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10, 10, 10, 10));       frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);       frame.add(panel);       frame.setSize(500, 300);       frame.setVisible(true);    } }
