Think_Twice :
I am busy with a java desktop application in intellij. I am struggling to get a image to display in a JLabel
Here is my current code (in a class extending JPanel):
icon = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("resources/icon.png"));
lblIcon.setIcon(icon);
Here is a picture of my project structure:
The image is in the resources directory and the screen in in the screens\jpanel.java directory
Kasper Davidsen :
If I rememeber correctly, IntelliJ automatically adds the contents of the folder marked as "resources root" to the root of your compiled project.
getClass().getResource("...")
expects a path relative to your classloader, thus you simply need to provide the name of your image in this case:
icon = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/icon.png"));
lblIcon.setIcon(icon);
