Setting a background image in a simple java game

I'm making my first simple game, that looks like Space Invaders.

I have used paint for drawing my hero on my JPanel. Now I guess if it's possible, in a simple way, to add a background image on my JPanel.

ImageIcon img = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("back.gif"));
Image image = img.getImage();
setDoubleBuffered(true);    
hero = new Hero("hbarrel.gif",350,500); 

public void paint(Graphics g) {
    super.paint(g);
    Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
    g2d.drawImage(hero.getImage(), hero.getX(), hero.getY(), this);
    g2d.drawImage(image,0,0,this);
    // Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().sync();
    g.dispose();
}

So, this is it: I tried to use my background img as hero img, and it works! but when I use the code above it only paints my hero img.... so it isn't a resource position issue.

Well, try to paint the background image first and then the hero so that you have hero above background image

Override paintComponent(Graphics) method and use Graphics.drawImage() to do that in your own custom component.
