Rendering a image in java

Question

Hello i am trying to add a texture to a game i have just started to create and i keep getting errors and i was just wondering if someone could help. The errors keep point to this .java file and the code is as follows. package com.mime.minefront.graphics;

import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

public class Texture {

public static Render floor = loadBitmap("\textures.textures/floor.png");

public static Render loadBitmap(String fileName) {
    try {
        BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(Texture.class.getResource(fileName));
        int width = image.getWidth();
        int height = image.getHeight();
        Render result = new Render(width, height);
        image.getRGB(0, 0, width, height, result.pixels, 0, width);
        return result;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.out.println("CRASH!");
        throw new RuntimeException(e);

    }
}

}

And the error list is.

Answer 1

The resource that you are specifying "\textures.textures/floor.png" cannot be found located by JVM.

The resource path should not use "\", but "/" instead if absolute path is desired.
