How to change java icon in a JFrame

Question

Ok so I\'ve been researching this one quiet a bit. I am fairly new to java but thought that this one would be easy. Ive tried just about every way that has been answered on

Answer 1

For example in a NetBeans project, create a resources folder in the src folder.

Put your images (jpg, ...) in there.

Whether you use ImageIO or Toolkit (including getResource), you must include a leading / in your path to the image file:

Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource("/resources/agfa_icon.jpg"));
setIconImage(image);

If this code is inside your JFrame class, the image is added to the frame as an icon in your title bar.
