Blank window when loading an image

Question

Hello,
I'm new on Javafx, i've written the following example for loading an image, but it does not work.
Here is the code
<code>
public class Load_Image extends Application {
* @param args the command line arguments
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
Rectangle rec = new Rectangle(200, 400);
ImageView iv = new ImageView(
new Image(getClass().getResourceAsStream("image.png")));
iv.setFitHeight(rec.getHeight());
iv.setFitWidth(rec.getWidth());
StackPane root = new StackPane();
root.getChildren().add(iv);
primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 300, 250));
primaryStage.show();
</code>

I'm sure there is a theoretical limit, but it should be large enough to hold anything you are likely to use.
Can you open the image in other programs? Does [url http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/api/javafx/scene/image/Image.html#isError%28%29]Image.isError() return true? And where exactly have you placed the image?
