imageicon ii = new imageicon(this.getClass().getResource("/resources/star.png"));

It does not work and i don't understand why.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at javax.swing.imageicon.<init>(imageicon.java:205)
at star.Board.<init>(Board.java:26)
at star.Star.<init>(Star.java:9)
at star.Star.main(Star.java:21)

Alexandre,

Where in your jar/folder is this file located? Is this for a plugin
project or just a regular Java project? If the latter, that folder
needs to be copied to the bin folder at development time because you've
specified that it belongs at the root of the jar (or the root of the
project's classpath folder).
