Hello Friend,

Try the following code:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class BackgroundImage{
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("");
frame.addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
Window win = e.getWindow();
win.setVisible(false);
win.dispose();
System.exit(0);
}
} );

JTextArea area=new JTextArea(15,4){

ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon( "C:/lily.gif" );

public void paint( Graphics g ) {
Dimension d = getSize();
for( int x = 0; x < d.width; x += image.getIconWidth() )
for( int y = 0; y < d.height; y += image.getIconHeight() )
g.drawImage( image.getImage(), x, y, null, null );
super.paint(g);
}
};

area.setOpaque(false);

JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane( area );
frame.getContentPane().add( sp );

frame.setSize(300,100);
frame.show();
}
}

Thanks
