Draw Image of Userinterface onto Glasspane

I'm trying t开发者_C百科o draw a modified version of my GUI onto the Glasspane. My idea is to have a panel where I override the paint function, but when I trysomething like

glass = frame.getGlasspane();
glass.draw(g);

I get a Nullpointer Exception, even though I initialized the glasspane with frame.setGlasspane(new JPanel());

Thanks for your help
