[SOLVED] Setting a icon

[sirwiggles]

I'm using blueJ, and i have created a simple application which creates a frame and gives it a title.
I am wanting to set my own icon to this application, so that the icon can be seen to the right of the frame title, when both onscreen and minimized.

For example you see the fox icon in any Firefox window when it is both on the screen or minimized.

Below presents my current code. This code produces no errors. However the default icon (the cup one) appears, rather than the one i specified.
(Yes, my icon is in the images/ directory.)

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class IconApplication {

	public static void main(String arg[])
    {
		//create JFrame with title
		JFrame frame = new JFrame("Application with a custom icon");

        //set frame size too 300, 300
        frame.setSize (500, 150);
        
        //set frame default close operation
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
        
        //Cannot change the frames size
        frame.setResizable(false);
        
        //centers the frame 
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);  
		
		// Set icon
        Image icon = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("images/icon.ico");
        frame.setIconImage(icon);
		
		//set frame visiblitiy to true
        frame.setVisible(true);
		
	}
	
}

Any help or guidance would be great, thanks.

I think you mean to the left not to the right. I have wondered also how to change it from the java logo. It is possible because when I load Netbeans, for a second its icon is the java logo, but then it switches to the NetBeans logo. I'm not sure how you do it though.

yeah i did, couldnt edit post due to post count and didnt want to double post.

Surely its possible otherwise every application coded in java would have the same icon.

Yeah, I didn't mean that I thought is wasn't possible, I just meant I knew for sure it was.. even though its obvious it would have to be anyway.... never mind.

Solution: For some reason java doesnt like the .ico format, i changed it too a gif and it worked.
Guessing the reason for this is because the complier doesn't see .ico as an image object, but does not throw an exception.
