getClassLoader().getResource() returns null

Question

I have this test app:

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.URL;
public class Test extends Applet
{

    public void init()
    {
                 


        

Answer 1

I would do it this way:

final InputStream stream;

stream = Test.class.getResourceAsStream("assets/pacman.png");
System.out.println("Stream = " + stream);

"/assets/pacman.png" is an absolute location whle "assets/pacman.png" is a relative location.
