Best way to display images in a game window in Eclipse?

Right now I've gotten a class hierarchy going that is set up similar to greenfoot. I need to be able to take every existing object from a list (already covered), and draw it into the paint window's graphic. However the image type I saved for each class is a graphic variable, and it won't let me draw a graphic into a graphic, only an Image variable into a graphic. Is there a way to convert a graphic variable into an Image variable to draw it on the paint window's image? Or is there a better way to do this all together?

I don't think you should store graphic variables, instead store the actual image (like java.awt.image.BufferedImage). Then you can use its methods to obtain a graphics context for drawing purposes of the image when necessary.

I was going to do that, but I'm just drawing the graphics straight out in code. BufferedImage doesn't have any methods to do that.

BufferedImage has getGraphics() and createGraphics() methods to obtain a Graphics context for drawing in that BufferedImage
