How do I change the default application icon in Java

Question

I m using NetBeans  trying to change the familiar Java coffee cup icon to a png file that I have saved in a resources directory in the jar file   I ve found many different web pages that claim they have a solution  but so far none of them work   Here s what I have at the moment  leaving out the try-catch block    URL url   new URL  com xyz resources camera png    Toolkit kit   Toolkit getDefaultToolkit    Image img   kit createImage url   getFrame   setIconImage img     The class that contains this code is in the com xyz package  if that makes any difference   That class also extends JFrame   This code is throwing a MalformedUrlException on the first line   Anyone have a solution that works

Or place the image in a location relative to a class and you don't need all that package/path info in the string itself.

com.xyz.SomeClassInThisPackage.class.getResource( "resources/camera.png" );

That way if you move the class to a different package, you dont have to find all the strings, you just move the class and its resources directory.
