Icon in JLabel is hidden

I tried to load a picture in my JDialog. So, I tried with JLabel like that:

ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("/sau/se/editor/images/HighBtomStPic.png");
System.out.println("Icon exists: "+(icon != null));
JLabel lblNewLabel = new JLabel();
lblNewLabel.setIcon(icon);

The print gives me true and I don't see the picture I have inserted, so what am I doing wrong?

Solution

  • Since I am dealing with source context not a file system one,

    The answer should be: To replace: 

    ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("/sau/se/editor/images/HighBtomStPic.png");

    With:

    ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(GraphEditor.class.getResource("/sau/se/editor/images/HighBtomStPic‌​.png"));
