HOWTO add Text on image created using JLabel ??

[VJ]

Hi Folks,

I am loading a gif image file in JPanel using JLabel()
Something like this,
....
JLabel image = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("myimage.gif"));
....

Now, I want to add some text on top of this image(without explicitly
modifying the image)

Tried image.setText(), but I guess this isn't something that I want.

Any comment would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Look into layers.
