How to access images from a resource folder in intelliJ IDEA without having to give entire path name

Question

How would I do something like this in intelliJ IDEA

File file = new File(\"C:\\Users\\Account\\Documents\\ProjectFolder\\ResourceFolder\\image\");

You should use Java resource loading system. This is not depending on your IDE. Once you have marked a folder as resource folder in IntelliJ, it is available in your code as via resource loader.
