I am trying to display an image that have in a subdirectory of my project src, and from the testing that I have done, the path reference to utilize the image is correct, however, when I run the application I do not see the background image that I am trying to set for the JFrame. Below is my code.
public class Main extends javax.swing.JFrame {
private BufferedImage dbImage = null;
public Main() {
initComponents();
try {
URL urlToImage = this.getClass().getResource("/resources/images/background.jpg");
dbImage = ImageIO.read(urlToImage);
//dbImage = ImageIO.read(new File("/resources/images/background.jpg"));
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Main.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
@Override
public void paintComponents(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponents(g);
g.drawImage(dbImage, 0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight(), this);
}
}
