Reading some tutorials should help.
Here is one.

I try the same code in JCreator,it works but not in netbeans.Whenever I want to add image to any swing controls(such as JButton) it shows exceptions.
here is the code:
jButton1 = new javax.swing.JButton();

jButton1.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/hrm/orange_new_06.gif")));

jButton1.setText("jButton1");
and here is the exception:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
at javax.swing.ImageIcon.<init>(ImageIcon.java:138)
at hrm.NewJFrame.initComponents(NewJFrame.java:35)

getResource is not finding "/hrm/orange_new_06.gif"

When I had this sort of problem it was because I had not done a "clean and build" on the project. The build will copy the image from the source tree to the destination tree. getResource looks in the destination tree

Oh, it works.
Thanks zweibieren.
