Is there an alternative to getClass().getResource() for a Static ImageIcon

Question

Ok so I got a static ImageIcon and the Image just doesn't show up. In the same program I use other ImagesIcon but they are not static so when I declare them I do it like this: ``` public ImageIcon blabla = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource(blabla.png)); ``` But if I declare a ImageIcon Static I cannot use that line since one cannot get acces to getClass() from a static value. Right now those images are not showing up using this: ``` public static ImageIcon blabla = new ImageIcon(blabla.png); ``` Thanks for your help! ``` public static ImageIcon networkOfflineIcon = new ImageIcon("Images/networkOfflineIcon.png"); public static ImageIcon networkIcon = new ImageIcon("Images/networkIcon.png"); protected static JMenuItem jmiRemote = new JMenuItem(" Remote", networkOfflineIcon); //************************************************************************ public static void changeNetWorkStatus(boolean network_status) //************************************************************************…

Accepted Answer

In a static context, you can write:

```
public ImageIcon imageIcon = new ImageIcon(MyClass.class.getResource("icon.png"));
```

Or, alternatively try `ImageIO.read(new File("icon.png"))`
