Problem: javax.swing.Icon is a Java interface which defines an operation paintIcon(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y), by which an icon can be painted at the specified location of the Component object c.

javax.swing.ImageIcon is a class that implements the Icon interface. It has a constructor ImageIcon(URL location) by which an ImageIcon object can be created from an image loaded from the specified URL location.

Instructions: Write an application that displays your favorite CD covers. You might create a menu of the CD titles and when a menu item is selected an ImageIcon object is created by loading the corresponding cover images from an online service like Amazon.com. The problem is, depending on the network load and the bandwidth of your connection, retrieving a CD cover might take a little time, so we dont want to hang up the entire application while its waiting on the image. Instead, your application should display some message while the user is waiting for the image to load. Once the image is loaded, the message should go away and the user should see the cover image displayed in the ImageIcon widget.
