Displaying an image!!

[javatech007]

Here is my code for displaying an image but doesnt work. It runs but displays nothing!

[CODE=JAVA]

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class Frame extends JFrame
{
private JLabel irishrail;

public Frame()
{
super("Frame");
Container c = getContentPane( );
setSize(600,550 );
irishrail = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("iarn rod.bmp"));
c.add(irishrail );
setVisible(true );

}

public static void main(String args[])
{
Frame frame = new Frame();

}

}

[/CODE]

Sun's tutorial page for Icons: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutor...ents/icon.html states:

Many Swing components, such as labels, buttons, and tabbed panes, can be decorated with an icon — a fixed-sized picture. An icon is an object that adheres to the Icon interface. Swing provides a particularly useful implementation of the Icon interface: ImageIcon, which paints an icon from a GIF, JPEG, or PNG image.

So no go for BMP files, which aren't that platform independent anyway -- they're more of a WINDOWS artifact.
