You must tell NetBeans that it should pack your image directory into the jar.

Use get getResourceAsStream instead

ImageIcon icon= new ImageIcon(getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(String))

well thank you joseph but i tried that too..while using this method i can not run in netbeans also – Nilkanth Rangoonwala Mar 30 '16 at 18:21
Where did you put your image file and which path you passed into method? – An Do Mar 30 '16 at 18:23
public MainForm() { initComponents(); setLocationRelativeTo(null); setTitle("Lady Care V 1.0" ); setIconImage(get_Image()); setTabIcons(); } – Nilkanth Rangoonwala Mar 30 '16 at 18:28
public Image get_Image(){ try { ImageIcon imageIcon = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/ladycare/images/MainIcon/MainIcon.png")); Image mainIcon = imageIcon.getImage(); return mainIcon; } catch (Exception e) { } return null; } – Nilkanth Rangoonwala Mar 30 '16 at 18:28
public void setTabIcons(){ ImageIcon homeIcon = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/ladycare/Images/TabIcons/Home.png")); // JLabel lblHomeIcon = new JLabel(); // lblHomeIcon.setIcon(homeIcon); TabbedPaneHome.setIconAt(0, homeIcon); // TabbedPaneHome.setTabComponentAt(0, lblHomeIcon); } – Nilkanth Rangoonwala Mar 30 '16 at 18:29
Mainform() is my constructor – Nilkanth Rangoonwala Mar 30 '16 at 18:30
while get_Image() method is working but setTabIcon() is not working – Nilkanth Rangoonwala Mar 30 '16 at 18:30
**i**mages vs **I**mages in path. You should take a rest, bro :) – An Do Mar 30 '16 at 18:48
sorry bro i can not get it what are you trying to say – Nilkanth Rangoonwala Mar 30 '16 at 18:55
The path in get_Image(): `/ladycare/**i**mages/MainIcon/MainIcon.png` - lower **i**. – An Do Mar 30 '16 at 18:56
The path in setTabIcons(): `/ladycare/**I**mages/TabIcons/Home.png` - upper **I**. I wonder if it a mistake? – An Do Mar 30 '16 at 18:59
well Joseph thank you so much bro.... that was a silly mistake by me... well thank you so much for that.... this is my first day on Stack Overflow and you made it bro... well that is very helpful – Nilkanth Rangoonwala Mar 30 '16 at 19:01
