Answer 1

Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Class j = YOURJFRAME.getClass();
Image image = tk.createImage(j.getResource("/images/bell-icon16.png"));

Try that code, if you have a JFrame that will work. If you have an Applet, then just use

Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Image image = tk.createImage("images/bell-icon16.png");

With applets you never want to use the / in the beginning, but if you have a JFrame, and you are using getResource, you need the / in the beginning of the Path.
