Override the JPanel paintComponent() method and draw the image in
whatever manner you want.  For example, the following code draws an
image, stretched to fill the panel:

   public void paintComponent( Graphics g ) {
      Dimension size = getSize();
      Insets insets = getInsets();
      int width = size.width - insets.left - insets.right;
      int height = size.height - insets.top - insets.bottom;

      if ( (image != null) && (image.getHeight(this) > 0) ) {
         g.drawImage( image, insets.left, insets.top, 
            width, height, this );
      }
   }
