    I googled "image jtextpane", and the top 5 results all contained a solution with code on how to do this. So my suggestion is, try implementing one of those examples, and if you get stuck, post that specific question here and we can try to help you out – John Snow Apr 03 '12 at 12:47
  • @JimmyGustafsson Any links at SO you'd care to share? A Good SO link with an accepted answer would be ample grounds to close as a duplicate. – Andrew Thompson Apr 03 '12 at 12:49

There is an easy way to add an image:

JTextPane pane = new JTextPane ();
pane.insertIcon ( new ImageIcon ( "/path/to/image.png" ) );

But there is no simple way to copy an image from the pane, since it cannot be selected and cannot be easily located in the pane document.

You need a StyledDocument, like resulting from HTML. Hence set the content type to "text/html". Then <img src="file:..."> will link to an image on the file system.

Then you can provide drag-and-drop or paste from File or Image (the latter you have to save in your own files).
