如何在XML文件中使用SynthLookAndFeel，其中xml文件路径将使用getResourceAsStream方法加载文件？

Question

I am using

SynthLookAndFeel laf = new SynthLookAndFeel();
laf.load(MyJSlider.class.getResourceAsStream("/ui/demo.xml"), MyJSlider.class);      
//laf.load(new URL("file:///var/tmp/demo.xml"));

Where my demo.xml has following:

<style id="SliderTrackStyle">
    <opaque value="TRUE"/>
    <state>
      <imagePainter method="SliderTrackBackground" path="/var/tmp/JavaUnitTest/src/image/menu/bg.jpg" sourceInsets="0 0 0 0" />
    </state>
</style>
<bind style="SliderTrackStyle" type="region" key="SliderTrack" />

Causes error:

run-single:
Uncaught error fetching image:
java.lang.NullPointerException
    at sun.awt.image.URLImageSource.getConnection(URLImageSource.java:115)
    at sun.awt.image.URLImageSource.getDecoder(URLImageSource.java:125)
    at sun.awt.image.InputStreamImageSource.doFetch(InputStreamImageSource.java:263)

    at sun.awt.image.ImageFetcher.run(ImageFetcher.java:169)
BUILD STOPPED (total time: 9 seconds)

To avoid and to have less risks.

How can i use it like path=Menu.class.getResourceAsStream("/image/menu/bg.jpg") where i wanted to avoid using the static path shown in example.

You can find a good example in Advanced Synth .

You can see in the example that:

SynthLookAndFeel synth = new SynthLookAndFeel();
synth.load(SynthFrame.class.getResourceAsStream("demo.xml"), SynthFrame.class);
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(synth);

And demo.xml lives in demo.synth package, the same of SynthFrame class, where this XML contains:

<imageIcon id="check_off" path="images/checkbox_off.png"/>

Where checkbox_off.png lives in demo.synth.images package.

1. please to check , especially answer by @trashgod shows basic stuff but with great code workaround for BasicXxxUI

2. I'd be use Nimbus Look and Feel rather that prehistoric and plain Synth ,

3. Nimbus has similair issues with GUI, aaaaand a few Bugs moreover,

4. Nimbus (based on plain Synt ) could be easiest of ways and around us are a fews great hacks

Answer 3

You can also add XML file by passing whole path of file

for eg

SynthLookAndFeel laf = new SynthLookAndFeel();
laf.load(new URL("file:///D:/Demo/src/example1.xml"));
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(laf);

It works for me. Try it for your application
