Answer 1

getClass().getResourceAsStream(path) will start its file search from the location of the calling class. So by using this path "imgs\pic1.jpg", you're saying this is your file structure

src\myProject\gui\imgs\pic1.jpg

To have the search traverse back, you need the extra separator before imgs. So

"\imgs\pic1.jpg"

Also, I think when you use a back slash as separator, you need to escape it. So

"\\imgs\\pic1.jpg

Or just use forward slash

"/imgs/pic1.jpg

Another option is to use a class loader, that will search from the root, where you don't need the beginning separator

getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("imgs/pic1.png");
