Exported JAR Won't Read Image [duplicate]

Answer 1

You should have a resource folder with the folder named images in that, then it should work.

Example:

How I access those icons:

public BufferedImage icon32 = loadBufferedImage("/icon/icon32.png");
public BufferedImage icon64 = loadBufferedImage("/icon/icon64.png");

private BufferedImage loadBufferedImage(String string)
{
    try
    {
        BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(this.getClass().getResource(string));
        return bi;
    } catch (IOException e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

Answer 2

Try this code:

try { 
  InputStream in = getClass().getResource(imgName); //Read from an input stream 
  img = new ImageIcon(ImageIO.read(in));    
}catch (Exception e1) {
 e1.printStackTrace();
}
