Java - Import main class in subfolder for Image

Question

in my project I need to create an image for each object when is created.

    public abstract class Pirate extends ImageView {
    protected static int pirateSpeed, pirateScore;
    protected String word;

    public Pirate(String face, String word) {
        this.setImage(new Image(PiratesAndTreasures.class.getResource("/resources/" + face).toExternalForm()));
        this.word = word;
    }
}

PiratesAndTreasures is the main class and the project structure looks like this:

As far as I understood I need to access main class when I am using this:

new Image(TheMainClass.class.getResource("/resources/" + picture).toExternalForm()));

..well here is the issue: I couldn't find a way to import from an upper folder or from the "src".

Any help would be much appreciated.

UPDATE: It states "Cannot resolve symbol PiratesAndTreasures"

Answer 1

You could try using ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("/resources/" + picture)) That way its not dependent on wherever the main class is. This should work the same as what you have above since all these sub folders are under src.
