Reading Image to Panel

// Reading the image at startup:

try{
        BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new java.io.File((String)DataHandler.read("Image", "./res/familyMember_" + localIndex + ".profile")));
        image = ImageUtils.resizeImage(image, imagePanel.getWidth() - 4, imagePanel.getHeight() - 10);
        ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(image);
        imageLabel = new JLabel(icon);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        imageLabel = new JLabel("None");
    }

// Generation of the image panel:

JPanel imagePanel = new JPanel();
imagePanel.setBorder(new LineBorder(new Color(0, 0, 0), 2));
imagePanel.setBounds(0, 0, 100, 100);
add(imagePanel);

JPanel box = this;

// JButton for opening/adding the image

JButton open = new JButton("Open Image");
open.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
         JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
         chooser.showOpenDialog(box);
         java.io.File file = chooser.getSelectedFile();
         imagePanel.removeAll();
         imagePanel.revalidate();
         try {
            BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(file);
            image = ImageUtils.resizeImage(image, imagePanel.getWidth() - 4, imagePanel.getHeight() - 10);
            ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(image);
            imageLabel = new JLabel(icon);
            imagePanel.add(imageLabel);
            imagePanel.revalidate();
            imagePanel.repaint();
            DataHandler.save("Image", "./res/profile.profile", file.getAbsolutePath());
        } catch (IOException e1) {
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }
         imagePanel.revalidate();
         imagePanel.repaint();
    }

});
