java.awt.Component is abstract, so you'll need to subclass the call
to something.

From Java in a Nutshell 1.1, page 361 "In a standalone application,
the URL.getContent() method can be used to obtain an ImageProducer
object, which can then be passed to the Component.createImage()
method to obtain an Image object."


Hope that helps!
