Hi there,

I am converting to JAVA from a Delphi background, and in order to learn
quickly I always force myself to write a game. To do this I want to
display an n x m matrix with GIF or JPG icons, which I must be able to
change.
I thought that I could use a JTable component to achive this, but I keep
drawing a blank. In my current construction, derived from the online
manual, I can fill any object, except my picture. I am using the
following:

  DefaultTableModel snakePitModel = new DefaultTableModel() {
          public int getColumnCount()
          {
            return ConfigurationClass.GetNrHorCells();
          }

          public int getRowCount()
          {
            return ConfigurationClass.GetNrVertCells();
          }

          public Object getValueAt(int row, int col)
          {
            return new ImageIcon("table.jpg");
          }
      };
      JTable snakePitTable = new JTable(snakePitModel);

The eventual picture does display a string reference:
"javax.swing.ImageIcon@......."

but not the actual picture.

Another problem is, that I don't seem to get any methods to change the
images with this construction.

If anyone could help me on this one, either with the construction
depicted above, or a neater way to achieve the same, it would be greatly
appreciated!

Thanks!
