import java.io.File;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import java.io.IOException;

public class SwindDesign {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Split Pain");
    frame.setSize(700, 500);
    frame.setVisible(true);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setLayout(new GridLayout());

    //panel
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    panel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
    panel.add(new PicturePanel());

   JTabbedPane jtp = new JTabbedPane();

     jtp.addTab("Set Image", panel);
      jtp.addTab("Compare Image", new JButton());
      frame.add(jtp);

    }
}
class PicturePanel extends JPanel {

File folder = new File("C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Documents/My Pictures/Sample Pictures");
File[] listOfFiles = folder.listFiles();
ImageIcon[] img ;
JComponent lblimg;
JTabbedPane jtp = new JTabbedPane();
private BufferedImage[] b = new BufferedImage[10];

public PicturePanel() throws IOException {
    for (int i = 0; i < listOfFiles.length; i++) {
        System.out.println("chek panth"+listOfFiles[i].getName().toString());
        b[i] = ImageIO.read(new File("C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Documents/My Pictures/Sample Pictures/" + listOfFiles[i].getName().toString()));
    }
}

@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    super.paintComponents(g);
    Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
    int k = 10;
    for (int j = 0; j < listOfFiles.length - 1; j++) {
        g2.drawImage(b[j], k, 0, 100, 100, null);
        k = k + 75;
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

could anyone suggest me how to load multiple..

Use a loop.

..images..

Use ImageIO.read(File/URL/InputStream)

in on tab..

Add a JPanel to the tab with a suitable layout, E.G. FlowLayout or GridLayout. Put the image in an undecorated JButton and add it to the panel.

..and after clicking on a particular image..

Add an ActionListener to the button.

..it should open inn a other tab for image processing.

JTabbedPane.addTab("image name", imageEditorComponent)
