Place your components on a JPanel instead and override the paintComponent method of that JPanel to paint the image

ImagePanel = new javax.swing.JPanel(){
    Image img = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource(
      "images/blackX.gif")).getImage();

    public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
        g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight(), this);
    }
};

now i dont know how to reposition the buttons

Methods are inherited from java.awt.Component and you can either use setLocation(int x,int y) or setLocation(Point p)

Use whichever layout manager you wish and place them just like you would place components in any container.
