Hi Scott, <ImageView image="..." /> translates to ImageView.setImage(String) ( http://incubator.apache.org/pivot/1.3/docs/api/org/apache/pivot/wtk/ImageView.html#setImage(java.lang.String)), where the string is a resource name as per ClassLoader.getResource(String) ( http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/ClassLoader.html#getResource(java.lang.String) ).
Thus, the path to your image must be found on your classpath. Alternatively, you can prepend the string with "@" and use a relative path, in which case the value will be converted to a URL relative to your WTKX file, and Imageview.setImage(URL) will be called.
