Question

I am trying to use ImageIcon with Java Swing in order to power a simple Java game. I would like understand how to call a relative filepath from the eclipse workspace inside a project folder? What is the code that can be used to implement the relative filepath in eclipse for an image resource?

Answer 1

Use:

getClass().getResource()

Something like this:

jLabel1.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/images.jpg")));

If images is in your project folder.
