position ImageItem on top right corner of screen

Question

I am having issues with adding an Image to a screen, I have the following code:

  try {
    Image cima = Image.createImage("/resources/cross.png");
  } catch (IOException ex){
    System.out.println("ERROR");
  }

However it always hits up the exception. I don't know what's wrong as I already put in the image in the correct folder

enter image description here

Also would it be possible to combine two layout settings? Say I want top right corner? I want to combine two layout..is this possible?

UPDATE:

With regards to the layout I want to do something like:

form.append(new ImageItem("Top Right", cima, ImageItem.LAYOUT_TOP, null));

but this only gives me the image on TOP.

Obviously the URL is wrong. See my answer to this related question:

Reading an image in Netbeans

As for your second question, it is possible to combine multiple layout managers, although each container is limited to exactly one. For more information, see Laying Out Components Within a Container.

~~And what exactly do you want to set in the top right corner? I'm sure this can be done using a single layout manager.~~

As for placing the image in the top-right corner of the container, there are many ways to achieve this. One way is to simply use a JLabel as seen in the answer provided by @camickr in this question.

I tried Image cima = Image.createImage("../res/cross.png"); and it didn't work as well – adit Sep 09 '11 at 18:04
@adit, Are you talking about [this](http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Image.html) Image class? If so, there is no `createImage` method. Also, you clearly didn't thoroughly read my example since that's not what I told you to do. – mre Sep 09 '11 at 18:06

@adit, Oh well it's still a _path_ problem. Look at my sample code again. – mre Sep 09 '11 at 18:08
I saw you have a resources folder, I don't know how to create that in Eclipse – adit Sep 09 '11 at 18:13
now I did create a resource folder, tried everything starting from ../HW1.resources/cross.png and resources/cross.png, etc.. Nothing works – adit Sep 09 '11 at 18:31

@adit, Sorry, I've been busy. I see that you've accepted my answer. Did you finally get it working? – mre Sep 09 '11 at 22:01

The package isn't named "res", but "resources" as we can see from your snapshot.

Image cima = ImageIO.read(YourClass.class.getResource("/resources/cross.png"));

Change the catch body to this:

} catch (IOException ex){
  System.out.println("ERROR");
  ex.printStackTrace();
}

And tell us what exception you've got.
