Image won't appear

[colin shuker]

Hi, I'm trying to load an image into an application in Netbeans 5.0.
The images folder is in the same directory as the .java files.

I don't understand why this code doesn't work.

 
class Drawer extends JPanel
{
     Image woodenBoard;
     ImageIcon icon;
     
     public Drawer()
     {
         super();
       
         icon=new ImageIcon("images/wb.JPG");
         woodenBoard=icon.getImage();   
     }
     
     public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
     {
         super.paintComponent(g);
         g.drawImage(woodenBoard,0,0,50,50,this);
         Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
         g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
                          RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
         g2.drawLine(20,20,30,30);
        
     
     }
 }

I've tried changing the path, and changing the extension to .jpg, but it still won't go, doesn't make sense, I've used this method before. Any ideas?
Thanks for any help

I don't get it, it won't work, I tried GIFs too.

try this

class Drawer extends JPanel
{
  public Drawer()
  {
    add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon("images/wb.JPG")));   
  }
}

if it also fails, you'll know the image (path, name etc) is the problem.

Hi, I finally fixed it, it was the path.
I needed to use...

ImageIcon icon=new ImageIcon("src/packageName/fileName.JPG");

That seems to work Thanks for your help anyway.
