Compile and run the following code:

import java.beans.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Test
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
try
{
JPanel lPanel = new JPanel();
JLabel lLabel = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("Test.gif"));
lPanel.add(lLabel);

XMLEncoder e = new XMLEncoder(
new BufferedOutputStream(
         new FileOutputStream("Test.xml")));
        e.writeObject(lPanel);
        e.close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
    }
}

An error message results:
