没有这样的文件或目录Eclipse Java Mac OSX

Question

I keep getting this error every time I run my OpenGL program and try and set up a texture:

Unable to read texture file: java.io.FileNotFoundException: bricks.gif (No such file or directory)

I have the file bricks.gif in the same folder and it shows up in Eclipse as well, but I have no idea what is going on. I tried to clean and refresh as well, but nothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Two ideas for solving your problem:

1. Make the reference to bricks.gif absolute, adding the full path. (eg /Users/abc/workspace/bricks.gif)

2. When Eclipse starts your Application, the directory root will be your project folder.

Think of the following layout in Eclipse Package Explorer:

projectname
   -src
   -bin
   -...
   -bricks.gif 

You can refer to the file in relative way by using the path "./bricks.gif". You can obtain a File Object pointing to bricks.gif with the following code:

File bricks = new File("./bricks.gif");

or

File bricks = new File("bricks.gif");
