Question

I\'ve started Java a week ago, and now I would like to insert an image into my window. Whatever I try I keep having this in Eclipse: javax.imageio.IIOException: Can\

Answer 1

Have you tried using new File("logo.jpg"); (without the leading /)?

And are you sure, the logo.jpg is copied to your output? (Some IDEs don't copy every file from your source-directories to your output (or target) directories.)

/src
|-> Window.java
|-> Logo.jpg

becomes

/out
|-> Window.class

(Note that the IDE/compiler does not copy the image to your output-directory and so the compiled code cannot find the image - allthough you did specify the correct path)
