Use the following construct:
ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon( getClass().getResource( "images/file_close.gif" ) );
This construct will find resources that are in the classpath.
Suppose this code is in a class in a package com.mycompagny.application, then you need to put the image in the directory com/mycompagny/application/images. This is because the getResource() method looks relative to the current package you are in.
Suppose you want to use the same image in a class in the package com.mycompagny.somepackage, but want to keep the image in the same location, then you can refer to it using:
ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon( getClass().getResource( "/com/mycompagny/application/images/file_close.gif" ) );
Notice the slash (/) at the start! By using that the package level you are currently in, is not taken into account. If you would leave out the slash before the com, then image would be searched in the directory com/mycompagny/somepackage/com/mycompagny/application/images

In my program I'm using ImageIcon for the buttons and I had this code
Action actClose = new AbstractAction("Close", new
ImageIcon("images/file_close.gif")){...}
This works if I'm in the correct directory, but if I'm not the images are
not found.
What is the correct way to do the previus code?
Thanks
Marcos
