Or place the image in a location relative to a class and you don't need all that package/path info in the string itself.

com.xyz.SomeClassInThisPackage.class.getResource( "resources/camera.png" );

That way if you move the class to a different package, you dont have to find all the strings, you just move the class and its resources directory.
