ImageIO exception problem

[jammas615]

I have this try{ statement to load an image:

        try {
            File file = new File("image.jpg");
            Image img = ImageIO.read(file);
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(Paint.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }

My problem is that even after NetBeans asks me to put this block in a try-catch and it does that, it just keeps asking me to put this block of code in a try-catch. Why?

What exactly is NetBeans saying.
Because it will also be telling you what exception it thinks you are not currently catching.

Yes, thanks i have fixed that now. I put it in its own method and it seems to be working but now the image still wont paint.

You might want to check that the file .exists() and, if it doesn't, print the full path that you are looking at when you call new File("...").

Thanks for your help, it turned out i wasn't even calling my getImages() function that holds the code above. I now have it called in the constructor and i had to print the full path :)
