Try with an absolute path ? ("/images/actor.jpg") ?

  • Well I believe the only rule is that your resources should be in your classpath. You probably want to include said resources in your generated jar file(s). – Rom1 Jan 01 '12 at 14:53

Is your folder /images resides in same diretory in which your class is?

i.e., is your class is also in /ide folder?

  • Check the path. Are the files really in the images folder?

  • Are they called what you say there are called?

  • Are they the right case, if you're on a case-sensitive file system (in other words that actor.jpg and ACTOR.JPG are two different files)?

  • Are the images a resource? (Also look here.)

  • Try doing step-by-step what is described here (NetBeans documentation).
