[java] JLabel Image
Author
I'm having troubles getting my image to show up on screen. I've triple checked and (AFAIK) it is in the right directory. I'm not very experienced with content panes, so I feel that is the problem. Any help is appreciated:
I've actually never used a "content" container before for something like this, but there are a few things that may be tripping this up.
First, I would try hard-coding the image path for now to make sure that it is actually pulling in the image ("C:\\hero.jpg") for example.
Second, I always have problems with layout managers. Try creating a JPanel first and adding the JLabel to that, then adding the JPanel to getContentPane().
Third, maybe you're only changing the local Container in createHero? Try returning it in your method and adding it to the contentPane instead.
