Display an image in JTextArea

I am trying to write a chat client(multi-threaded) which should be capable of displaying images(sent by server) in the main chat window(JTextArea in my case)? Is there any way to do this directly or do I have to encode and parse back my image. For example Facebook chat lets you directly drag and drop images and displays them in main chat window. If we cannot do this in Java, please suggest some other Environment in which this is doable.

It works:

JTextPane t = new JTextPane();
t.setContentType("text/html");
t.setText("<html><img src='" + Hello.class.getClassLoader().getResource("hello.gif").toString() + "'/></html>");

I think a JTextPane would suit your needs better: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/editorpane.html
