Java - getClassLoader().getResource() driving me bonkers
- by Click Upvote
I have this test app:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.URL;
public class Test extends Applet
{
public void init()
{
URL some=Test.class.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("/assets/pacman.png");
System.out.println(some.toString());
System.out.println(some.getFile());
System.out.println(some.getPath());
}
}
When I run it from Eclipse, I get the error:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at Test.init(Test.java:9)
at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
Classpath (from .CLASSPATH file)
<classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>
In my c:\project\src folder, I have only the Test.java file and the 'assets' directory which contains pacman.png.
What am I doing wrong and how to resolve it?
