you can't. as far as I can remember (and bear in mind I was only using java2) - java only supports .gif and .jpg/.jpeg formats.
If you have a .icon file, you will first need to convert it to one of the formats mentioned above (by using image software such as GIMP - its free!!) and then you can bring the file into your swing app by creating a new ImageIcon and giving it the path.
e.g.
Icon myIcon = new ImageIcon(c:\yourpath);
