How can I drag images with the mouse cursor in Jav

// my code that calls upon n images in a directory to be placed on the JPanel

 public void imageAdder(int n, String name){
    BufferedImage myPic = null;
    for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++){
        try {
        myPic = ImageIO.read(new File("Images/" + name + i + ".jpg"));
        } catch (Exception e){
        System.out.println("no file man cmon");
        }
        JLabel picLabel = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(myPic));
      //  picLabel.setBounds(mouseX, mouseY, 100, 50);
      //  picLabel.addMouseMotionListener(this);
      //  picLabel.addMouseListener(this);
        canvas.add(picLabel);
    }}

I read about the class DragSource and how there's a method that drags things of type image, but I'm not sure if that's applicable given my code. What should I do if I wanted to freely drag the images with my mouse?

There are a number of ways you might achieve this...for example, you could use custom painting to paint the individual images yourself. Each time the mouse is pressed/dragged, you would need to calculate which image was been dragged.

A slightly simpler solution might be to use a JLayeredPane and continue using JLabels to render the images, you could then use a MouseListener and MouseMoitionListener to detect when a label was pressed and/or dragged and update it's position accordingly...

See How to Write a Mouse Listener and How to Use Layered Panes for more details.

Look at custom classes in Java Swing, possibly useful links to get you started:
