Adding Icon to a JLabel

I'm new to Java GUI and I'm trying to add an icon to an object that
extends a JLabel. I have the following code, but the icon doesn't
appear, I was wondering what my problem would be (paintIcon()?)
Thanks.

public class FileTarget extends javax.swing.JLabel implements
DropTargetListener, DragGestureListener {

private Vector filearr = new Vector();

public FileTarget(Icon image) {
super(image, (int)JLabel.CENTER_ALIGNMENT);
this.dTarget = new DropTarget(this, this);
}

There's nothing in the code you've shown that would demonstrate your
problem. If that's the only constructor you have, then the problem
could be in how the Icon parameter was constructed before you invoke
this constructor. If you're asking about paintIcon(), then why? Did
you write some code that overrides the built-in one in Icon, ImageIcon,
or one of the various UI classes?

More detail will be necessary in order to provide useful assistance.
Perhaps a small code example that shows exactly how you're getting the
Icon and is a compilable example showing the problem.

I actually overlooked something, but figured it out now, thanks.
