I've seen many other people ask this question here and here, but it seems that I have done everything necessary yet I still get null when using the getResourceAsStream() call.
In netbeans I dragged my image into my package and it shows up in the folder in which the source code and .class files are held. So I have: srccommyProjectClassIMakeTheCallFrom.java srccommyProjectMyImage.png
also a similar structure exists in: buildclassescommyProjectClassIMakeTheCallFrom.class buildclassescommyProjectMyImage.png
However when I make the call:
System.out.println(dolphinWater.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("myImage.png"));
It comes out null. Am I missing something?
