I would like to know what the JavaFX Image constructor\'s relative path resolution algorithm is for:
getClass().getName().toString()
) related to your .java file are present, copy and paste your image thereImage image=new Image(getClass().getResourceAsStream("yourImageName.jpg"));
is must.In NetBeans the directory where classes are present NetBeansProjects/JavaFXProjectName/build/classes/packageName/
The answer is "/" if case you are using getClass().getResourceAsStream()
, i.e. the root of your jar file (inside it). Not user.dir nor where the package is hosted
Then user provides relative path to new Image(String url)
it will be relative against workdir of the app aka System.getProperty("user.dir")
javaws myfxapp.jnlp
) it works the same way as with standalone appSo general direction is: for standalone apps use url
same way as you'll use it in new File(String url)
. For jnlp/plugin use full url with protocol or Class.getResource()
approach.
Update: Please, note, this behavior is going to be clarified and changed in 2.2. See http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-18291
The following comment is from RT-18291 and outlines the intended changes for 2.2:
Martin Sladecek added a comment - May, 15 2012 10:53 AM After discussion with Richard Bair, we decided to change the current (undocumented) behavior for paths. Currently, they are treated as user.dir relative. All path, with or without leading slash will be now resolved as relative to classpath, which will be consistent with CSS and more corresponds to what might users expect. For user.dir relative paths, "file:" URL can be still used.
