java netbeans getClass().getResource(filename) return null

Question

I have a picture resource in my netbeans project and the getResource(...) method returns null, for every combination. Can you see what I am doing wrong from this screenshot?

Netbeans screen shot

Have you tried `getResource("/javafxaddress/media/1414459175_Save.png");`. And please try to add the code instead of a screenshot. — Tom, Oct 28 '14 at 18:26

Many thanks, Tom. /javafxaddress/media/...png worked perfectly. — user2302244, Oct 28 '14 at 19:20

getClass() returns TreeTestController.class (assuming the method is not called on a subclass), which is in the package javafxaddress.view. getResource() uses a path that is relative to the package of the class on which it is called, unless the path starts with /. So your code looks for the file in the package javafxaddress.view.media, and the file is in fact in the package javafxaddress.media.

So the path should be /javafxaddress/media/1414459175_Save.png.

See if either of these work:

getResource("/media/1414459175_Save.png")

or

Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("media/1414459175_Save.png")

(notice one with and one without a prefixed slash)
