Java JRE built-in image for testing purposes

Question

Is there an image within the JRE that can be used for testing purposes? I'm looking for either an Image, BufferImage or Icon object. I did find a PNG file in the JRE path that I am currently using but looking to see what others have found or are using.

So I don't have to rely on reading a PNG or JPG file from the file system. I'm looking for a built-in image. Trying to see if others have discovered such an object. — Philip, Mar 13 '13 at 04:24
There are a number of icons in the JRE for the PLAFs. E.G. as seen [here](http://stackoverflow.com/a/7877817/418556). A new `BufferedImage` is as simple as `new BufferedImage(w,h,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);` — Andrew Thompson, Mar 13 '13 at 04:31
@ShivanRaptor I currently do create one using Java from a PNG file in the JRE path. I'm looking to see what others have found or are using. — Philip, Mar 13 '13 at 04:32

Try the following. This code will generate a test image of any resolution. It does not use a built-in image but I think this will work best for you. Tweak as necessary to meet your needs.

static private Image createTestImage(final int resolution) {
    final Image image = new BufferedImage(resolution, resolution, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
    final Graphics g = image.getGraphics();
    final int points = (resolution * 72) / 96;
    g.setColor(new Color(.42f, .42f, 1.0f, .5242f));
    g.setFont(new Font("Dialog", Font.BOLD, points));
    g.drawString("!X!", 2, points);
    g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
    g.drawOval(0, 0, image.getWidth(null) - 1, image.getHeight(null) - 1);
    g.drawOval(11, 11, image.getWidth(null) - 23, image.getHeight(null) - 23);
    g.drawOval(22, 22, image.getWidth(null) - 45, image.getHeight(null) - 45);
    return image;
}

Using

Image image = createTestImage(1024);

Produces a hi res image like:

Using

Image image = createTestImage(64);

Produces a lo res image like:

Depending on the OS, there are a number of image files bundled with the JRE...

There are images in C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\images\cursors on Windows, and on Linux I found:

denis@laptop:~/Programs/jdk1.7.0_11/jre$ find | grep png
./lib/deploy/mixcode_s.png
./lib/images/icons/sun-java.png
./lib/images/icons/sun-java_HighContrast.png
./lib/images/icons/sun-java_HighContrastInverse.png
./lib/images/icons/sun-java_LowContrast.png
... (many others) ...
