In order to fix this, the images need to be copied in the bin directory - not in src directory.

Otherwise you will get null all the time on getClass().getResource("image.png"). The path is not null and you can set it as the above - only if you copy the images that you need inside the binary directory, where .class files for your project are located.

This fixed the problem. Let me know if I helped in this.
