I'm trying to set an icon for a label like this:
jLabel1.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/com/mycompany/footballist/pics/search3030.png")));
It's throwing the error:

My project structure is like that:
I'm trying to access this photo from SearchFrame.java and they are under the same package. Image is in the pics folder.
I don't know what am I doing wrong. Can you please help me?
I moved the file to the same package with SearchFrame.java, but nothing changed. Still the same error.
CodePudding user response：
Create directory /src/main/resources/images in your Maven source tree (most will already be there).
Copy the png there.
Use the following code:
jLabel1.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/images/search3030.png")));
Do that right and you should be able to run java -jar Footballist-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar and have it work and find the image
