How do I make images available for my GUI?

[EscSequenceAlpha]

I was going through some image tutorials with thenewboston and he said I need to put the images in the same directory as my .java files

I guess so I can use getClass().getResource();

however after I did this they dont show up at all in the package explorer of eclipse. they are in png format as suggested, apparently he had trouble with other formats

not only can eclipse not see them but the code that reference them also wont work

troubleshooting, are there any eclipse menus or things that I can do to import them for my environment?

Move to Eclipse

they are in png format as suggested, apparently he had trouble with other formats

I would be cautious of a tutorial that only works for png, and not other formats that are standard image formats readily read by ImageIO of comparable java tools (jpeg, gif)

not only can eclipse not see them but the code that reference them also wont work

Define 'wont work' (and please use proper grammar and capitalization - you are talking to programmers who write code all day long that requires exact syntax)..did you import the image into your project/package?
