title: How do I insert an image into my Java applet?
body: <p>Basically I have to write a Java applet that produces a business card. The part I'm stuck on is figuring out how to display an image of myself in the applet.</p>
  
  <p>The part I'm confused about in my directions is that it says:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>This assumes you have an image in the directory of your BlueJ project called 'businesscard.jpg'</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How do I get my picture into the directory of my BlueJ project even?  How do I then get the code the right way so it appears in the applet?</p>
