Adding components over image

I've been looking all over the internet for a solution of how to add components over image. I've tried this:

    setContentPane(new JComponent(){
        @Override
        protected void paintComponent(Graphics g){
            URL url = ...;
            if(url==null){
                //... Irelevant
                return;
            }
            try {
                BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(url);
                g.drawImage(img,0 ,0, this);
                super.paintComponents(g);
            } catch (IOException e) {
                //... Irelevant
                e.printStackTrace();
                return;
            }

        }
    });
    nameLabel=new JLabel("<html><body>"+Main.translateColorsToHTML(name)+"</body></html>");
    nameLabel.setAlignmentX(Component.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);
    nameLabel.setVisible(true);
    add(nameLabel);

Which didn't work, so I've tried this:

    URL url = ...;//Fetching the url
    if(url==null){
        //... Unrelevant
        return;
    }
    try {
        BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(url);
        invImg = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(img));
        invImg.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(340, 250));
        setContentPane(invImg);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return;
    }

And then adding a component to the content pane / the frame itself. I have absoloutly no idea how to do this, any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hey mind to add a jPanel on your JFrame ? (It is almost always a better idea)

Add a jPanel on your JFrame , and draw on it.

Override the paint(Graphics2D g) method of jPanel (inherited from JComponent) and draw your image like this

yourPanel = new javax.swing.JPanel(){
            @Override
            public void paint(Graphics g) {
                super.paint(g);
                g.drawImage(yourImage, null, x, y);
            }
}

I found a solution which works just fine:

BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(url);
invImg = new JLabel();
invImg.setIcon(new ImageIcon(img));
invImg.setLayout(new BoxLayout(invImg, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
setContentPane(invImg);
