Thread: Exception Posting Image.

Hi I am new to all of this and am just trying to simple add an Image but I get this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at javax.swing.ImageIcon.<init>(ImageIcon.java:181)
at bardejov.board.<init>(board.java:26)
at bardejov.Bardejov.<init>(Bardejov.java:17)
at bardejov.Bardejov.main(Bardejov.java:31)

this is my code:

 */
package bardejov;
 
 
 
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
 
import java.awt.Image;
 
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
 
 
public class board extends JPanel
{
    Image bardejov;
 
    public board() 
    {
        ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource("zombiemenu.jpg"));
        bardejov = ii.getImage();
    }
 
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
 
        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
        g2d.drawImage(bardejov, 10, 10, null); 
    }
 
}

and:

package bardejov;
 
import javax.swing.JFrame;
 
 
public class Bardejov extends JFrame
{
     public Bardejov() 
     {
 
        add(new board());
 
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setSize(280, 240);
        setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        setTitle("Bardejov");
        setVisible(true);
    }
 
 
 
    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        new Bardejov(); 
 
}

Any Help would be appreciated.

What code is at line 26: bardejov.board.<init>(board.java:26)
What folder is the image file in?
What folder is the .class file in?
Your program is in a package. The getClass().getResource() uses that as part of the path to find the image.

How are you executing your program? In a console window with the java command?

If you are using an IDE, then you'll need to ask someone how to configure your IDE.
