Try following code:
import java.net.URL;
public class MyIcons {
private static final String images = "images/";
private ImageIcon saveFile;
public static void loadImage(){
URL resourceURL = null;
resourceURL = this.getClass().getResource(images
+ "savefile.gif");
saveFile = new ImageIcon(resourceURL);
}
