Java Swing - why cant I add image to Jpanel?

Question

I dont know why I cant add image to my JPanel i use code:

class PanelGlowny extends JPanel {

    private JLabel adam;
    private JButton henryk;

    PanelGlowny(){

        this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        ImageIcon imageurl = new ImageIcon("logo.jpg");
        //Image img = imageurl.getImage();
        adam = new JLabel(imageurl);
        add(adam, BorderLayout.NORTH);
        henryk = new JButton();
        add(henryk, BorderLayout.CENTER);

    }
}

Image is in the same folder as class, but if I use url to image it also do not add anything. This code adding button, but do not add image :(

The problem is probably with my JDE, or Sandbox or sth like this, because code should be fine.

Works for me. Are you sure you have that image in your classpath. And if it is not working , is it throwing an exception ? — mbaydar, Apr 13 '12 at 18:11
This is a duplicate of your previous question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9997578/java-swing-how-to-add-image-in-north-of-jpanel (see my answer there which also answers this question) — ulmangt, Apr 13 '12 at 18:15
ulmangt nope. In my previous question i had problem with code. Now the problem is probably with JDE, Sandbox or sth like this, because this code work on anodher computers. — user1304098, Apr 13 '12 at 18:18
If you provide an absolute path to the image does the code work? — ulmangt, Apr 13 '12 at 18:23
*"probably with JDE"* I've never heard the abbreviation JDE. DYM JRE, IDE..? — Andrew Thompson, Apr 13 '12 at 19:07

Try this:

imageurl = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("logo.jpg"));

Check How to Use Icons tutorial.

EDIT: loading remote image

Try that to load your image from web:

public static void main(String args[]) {
    try {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "", "", 
            JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE, 
            new ImageIcon(new URL("http://marinerczarter.pl/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/headers/path.jpg")));
    } catch (Exception e) {
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e.getMessage(), "Failure", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
        e.printStackTrace();
    } 
}

It doesnt work. I think the problem is isn't with code, but with my JDE, Java Sandbox or something. But i am updated it to newest version and it still doesnt work. – user1304098 Apr 13 '12 at 18:16
What does not, do you get an exception? Is image in same package with your class? If not, use relative paths in `getResource()` and start with `/` – tenorsax Apr 13 '12 at 18:24
It is, and i also use paths. If i put C:\\mariner.jpg, or http://marinerczarter.pl/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/headers/path.jpg it also doesnt work. – user1304098 Apr 13 '12 at 18:41
@user1304098 , check if you see the image loaded from your url. – tenorsax Apr 13 '12 at 18:54
and when you run above `main()` that opens your image in `JOptionPane`? – tenorsax Apr 13 '12 at 19:36
