You can create an Image and then use your paint() method to draw onto 
the Image.  The following code could be added to a Component to create 
an image of itself:

    public Image getImage() {
        Dimension size = getSize();
        Image image = createImage( size.width, size.height );
        Graphics g = image.getGraphics();
        paint( g );
    }
