i have problem with the "getClass", the eclipse writing this messeage: "cannot make a static reference to the non-static method getClass() from the type Object"
this is the code:
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame f = new JFrame();
File path = new File(getClass().getResource("/resources/image.jpg").getFile());
BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(path);
thank you!
(If your class name is Main then) use Main.class.getResource instead of this.getClass.getResource
Read this for more details.
A static method belongs to the class.
A non-static method belongs to an instance of the class.
when you call getResource(), it isn't associated with any instance.
do something like
Main.class.getResource("images/pic.png")
you can find more information about static at here
The static key word means the function "main" in this case is bound to the class itself, therefore you cannot call a method that is not static like this "getClass()" because then that would be the same as saying "this.getClass()" but this can't refer to any object since you are calling getClass in a static method. Hence why you have to reference the class itself inside the static method saying MainClass.class.getResource()
