Getting error with ImageIO.read(getClass().getResourceAsStream (input==NULL)?

Question

I keep getting this error when I use the following code:

try    
{
      image=ImageIO.read(getClass().getResourceAsStream(\"build/classes/javaproject/Space.gif\         


        

Answer 1

I am assuming, from the name, that build/classes/ is a folder on your classpath; so what you probably need to write is:

      image=ImageIO.read(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/javaproject/Space.gif"));

---

Edit for comment below: Since javaproject/ is not actually inside build/classes/, I guess you actually need:

      image=ImageIO.read(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/Space.gif"));

(I know the context here is a bit different, but it should be clear that this system is modeled somewhat on a filesystem. If your build/classes/ directory doesn't contain a javaproject/ directory, then why would it ever occur to you to write build/classes/javaproject/?)

Answer 2

The promblom is that its A system file so you got too do this:

ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream
