    <p>I'm working on a Java program using Eclipse. Right now, I have an src folder that contains 2 packages: memory.views and memory.resources.</p> <p>In the memory.views package, I have my <code>Main.java</code> file. In the memory.resources package, I have my .txt file and .gif file.</p> <p>Within the program, I have no problem accessing (and manipulating) the <code>.txt</code> file by using the path <code>/memory/resources/name.txt</code>. However, when I do the same with the <code>.gif</code> file using the code below, I get no result:</p> <pre><code>ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("/memory/resources/name.gif"); </code></pre> <p>There's no error produced. The only effect is that I see no image when the program is running.</p> <p>I've tried also writing the following, but none worked: <br></p> <pre><code>ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("/resources/name.gif"); &lt;br&gt; ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("name.gif"); </code></pre> <p>Now, just so nobody says that it's the <code>.gif</code> file's fault, I've actually entered in the full Finder path (I'm using a Mac) and that worked perfectly:</p> <pre><code>ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("/Users/[...]/src/memory/resources/name.gif"); </code></pre> <p>However, I don't want to do the full path, because if I export the program and run it on another computer, then the non-programming computer won't display the image either.</p> <p>So, right now, I don't even know what the problem is. The .gif file works sometimes, but not when it's accessed via the same path as the .txt file, which works all the time. I tried looking here (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11121083/cannot-access-resource-by-using-the-getresources-method">Cannot access resource by using the getResources() method</a>), but it seems like he had a slightly different problem from me.</p>

    1. COI've recently just found an answer to this question (partially thanks to something I read here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12436851/icon-in-src-folder?rq=1). What I did was 'ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(Main.class.getResource("/memory/resources/name.gif"));'. :) Now the only thing left to do is to test it on another computer. Thanks for everyone's help! I appreciate it so much.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
