How do I use my own icon in a JButton? [message #1696805]

When I click on "Icon" in the properties window, it gives me a choice of "class path resource", "Absolute path in file system", "No image" and "Default image".

Absolute path seems like the logical choice, but there's a message next to it that says "use only for quick testing, never use in a real application".

"Class path resource" gives me a choice of two system .jar files with pre-defined images.

The other two options use no image at all.

I tried copying my .png file to "bin" and "src", to no avail. There seems to be no way to use my own image in an icon.

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? I'm new to eclipse and relatively new to Java itself, so a lot of things are unfamiliar to me. I come from a Delphi background.

Are you talking about WindowBuilder, the WYSIWYG GUI editor in Eclipse? If so, you should probably post the question on the WindowBuilder or SWT forums.
