To build on camickr's solution (for the lazy like me who want quick code to copy/paste) here's a code illustration:

JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
frame.getContentPane().add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(img)));
frame.getContentPane().add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(img2)));
frame.getContentPane().add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(img3)));
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
//frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); // if you want the X button to close the app
