How to make a jTabbedPane transparent??

843807Dec 4 2009 — edited Dec 5 2009
Hello. Recently I started programming and I need to make a jTabbedPane transparent. I´ve overwritten a jPanel so can contain a image. When I add the jTabbedPane still see the image as background. But when I started add jPanel in the jTabbedPane this loses transparency. I use setOpaque(false), but nothing. I also try to overwritte the jTabbedPane, but the components and title of the tab weren´t display. If anyone can help me i will be really greatfull. Here I post a little version of my code.
package GUI;

import javax.swing.JPanel;
import java.awt.Frame;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import javax.swing.JDialog;
import javax.swing.JTabbedPane;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;

public class a extends JDialog {

	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
	private JEImagePanel jContentPane = null;
	private JTabbedPane jTabbedPane = null;
	private JTabbedPane jTabbedPane1 = null;
	private JPanel jPanel = null;

	/**
	 * This method initializes jTabbedPane	
	 * 	
	 * @return javax.swing.JTabbedPane	
	 */
	private JTabbedPane getJTabbedPane() {
		if (jTabbedPane == null) {
			jTabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
			jTabbedPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
		}
		return jTabbedPane;
	}

	/**
	 * This method initializes jTabbedPane1	
	 * 	
	 * @return javax.swing.JTabbedPane	
	 */
	private JTabbedPane getJTabbedPane1() {
		if (jTabbedPane1 == null) {
			jTabbedPane1 = new JTabbedPane();
			jTabbedPane1.addTab("Hola", null, getJPanel(), null);
		}
		return jTabbedPane1;
	}

	/**
	 * This method initializes jPanel	
	 * 	
	 * @return javax.swing.JPanel	
	 */
	private JPanel getJPanel() {
		if (jPanel == null) {
			jPanel = new JPanel();
			jPanel.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
			jPanel.setOpaque(false);
		}
		return jPanel;
	}

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub

	}

	/**
	 * @param owner
	 */
	public a(Frame owner) {
		super(owner);
		initialize();
	}

	/**
	 * This method initializes this
	 * 
	 * @return void
	 */
	private void initialize() {
		this.setSize(300, 200);
		this.setContentPane(getJContentPane());
	}

	/**
	 * This method initializes jContentPane
	 * JEImagePanel
	 * @return javax.swing.JPanel
	 */
	private JEImagePanel getJContentPane() {
		if (jContentPane == null) {
			jContentPane = new JEImagePanel();
			jContentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
			jContentPane.setIcon(new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/imagen/angels.jpg")));
			jContentPane.add(getJTabbedPane1(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
		}
		return jContentPane;
	}
