Question

Looked at other posts on SO and they did not solve this issue.

I’m trying to load an image from my jar file. It is continuously coming up as null. The image is located under:

.Jar file > images > BLOCK.png

To load the image I am doing:

BufferedImage bImg;
URL url = getClass().getResource("/images/BLOCK.png");
try {
    bImg = ImageIO.read(url);
} catch (IOException ex) {
    Logger.getLogger(TileEngine.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}

url is null as is bImg.

Do not worry about case sensitivity as I’ve already checked that.

try this :

Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource("/images/BLOCK.png"));
