IllegalArgumentException although file is in the system?

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

I don’t understand how this could happen, since I have the directory set RIGHT to the user’s C:/ drive, and the file is THERE.

I hope someone can explain this.

Thanks,

#2

Why would your C drive be part of your classpath?

Besides, never hide file extensions… ever.

#3

It WAS originally only pointed at the second half of each file path. So, “/res/sprites/iconset.png”

I changed it because the IAExceptions started getting thrown randomly tonight after someone committed.

#4 
URL url = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("iconset.png");
BufferedImage bimg = ImageIO.read(url);

Add res to build path, should work fine. (Project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Source -> Add Folder -> res)
