Create image with DnD

Question

I'd like to create an own displayable image in Java - this is not the problem. But this image should be draggable inside a JLabel (only within the JLabel).

First I plan to create a new class for this intention extended from class JComponent. With this I can use createImage(ImageProducer producer) to create my image. But how can I use this method?

Or is there another possibility to implement a draggable image?

Answer 1

So the JLabel and its image can move on mouseDragged? You could do this with a JLayeredPane, and by adding a MouseListener to the JLabel or the layered pane. For example: dragging-a-jlabel-around-the-screen
