How to use an image on a button

jaclaes

Hi

I would like to create a button with only an icon on it. I've made icons and have put them in the folder of my java files. But how can I use it on buttons? 

This is my code

        JButton b = newButton(new ImageIcon("up.jpg"),"move down");

...

protected JButton newButton(ImageIcon icon, String tooltip) {

JButton b = new SlickerButton(icon);

b.setToolTipText(tooltip);

b.setForeground(new Color(40, 40, 40));

return b;

}

There is no error (not at compile time, not at runtime), but I get an empty button. 

I've also tried different paths to the image, but with no success

- /LogMerge/src/org/processmining/plugins/logmerge/rulebasedmerger/up.jpg

- LogMerge/src/org/processmining/plugins/logmerge/rulebasedmerger/up.jpg

- src/org/processmining/plugins/logmerge/rulebasedmerger/up.jpg

- logmerge/rulebasedmerger/up.jpg

- rulebasedmerger/up.jpg

- up.jpg

I've also tried the same stuff with JButton instead of SlickerButton, but with no success.

Any suggestions?
