Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.net.URL.toExternalForm()" because "location" is null.

The error is from this line of code:

home.addItem(new ModelItem(ID++, "Original Nuggets Meal", "", 90, "KFC", new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("icon/img2.png"))));

i use the correct folder as it is in a package in the same source of the file. please help!

AFAIK, Netbeans requires those images to be in the resources folder. So much omitted about the dev environment here.

okay so i got it fixed by deleting the files in the recycle bin, probably caused by alot of deletion of similar files that caused this error somehow. Thanks!
