I'm wondering How To Add Image To MessageDialog Box. I tried the code below and the image was nowhere to be found

else if(button == B){
String text = "blahblahblahblahblah";
    JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea(text);

textArea.setColumns(30);
textArea.setLineWrap( true );
textArea.setWrapStyleWord( true );
textArea.setSize(textArea.getPreferredSize().width, 1);
Font font = new Font("Verdana", Font.BOLD, 12);
textArea.setFont(font);
textArea.setForeground(Color.BLUE);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(
null, textArea, "Border States", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);

image2 = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("borderstates.jpg"));
  label2 = new JLabel(image2);
  add(label2);

JOptionPane is a very flexible API.

Your first port of call should be the Java API Docs and the Java Trails, specific How to use Dialogs

enter image description hereenter image description here

public class TestOptionPane04 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
                } catch (ClassNotFoundException | InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException | UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
                }

                ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(TestOptionPane04.class.getResource("/earth.png"));
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(
                        null,
                        "Hello world",
                        "Hello", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE,
                        icon);
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(
                        null,
                        new JLabel("Hello world", icon, JLabel.LEFT),
                        "Hello", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

            }
        });
    }
}
