how to add an image into netbeans Java project

Question

I'm doing a simple Java project on Netbeans. And I'm stuck not knowing how to add my own image into the code. It kept throwing IOException no matter where I put the image. This sounds ridiculous but it really got me stuck.

Answer 1

If you run the program from netbeans, the root folder should be the same as the root of the project folder. That is, the folder which contains build.xml and manifest.mf.

If putting your image directly in that folder, and loading it without any path given doesn't work, then you will have too look at your code and see if you can find any errors.
