What kind of “image” file? Vector (SVG, etc.) or bitmap (PNG, BMP, etc.) or JPEG?

That’s a challenging task in any environment. Do you already have a java-compatible library that can do this?

All of these are bitmap format. It makes little sense to create .dwg files of these. The .dwg files will just contain the embedded image file and will not be vector graphics and won't be editable with a CAD program. Can you clarify whether or not you understand the difference between bitmap and vector files?

What is the point of this exercise?
