Rollover icons not working

Question

Hi,
In my app i'm trying to set rollover icons for my buttons. Here's an exmple of the code i'm using:
nodeButton = new JButton(IconRepository.NODE_ICON);
toolbarButtons.add(nodeButton);
nodeButton.setToolTipText("Node");
nodeButton.setRolloverSelectedIcon(IconRepository.NODE_ROLLICON);
          nodeButton.setRolloverIcon(IconRepository.NODE_ROLLICON);
          nodeButton.setRolloverEnabled(true);
          nodeButton.setSelectedIcon(IconRepository.NODE_ROLLICON);
          System.out.println(nodeButton.getRolloverIcon());
//Code for the NODE_ROLLICON
public final ImageIcon NODE_ROLLICON = new ImageIcon("icons/noderoll.gif");
Problem is that this doesn't work - nothing happens when I move the cursor over the JButton.
Please Help
Thanks
Stuart

I can never remember exactly how it goes but...
is the icons directory in the correct place in location to where this file is? The way you make the call to get the icon, I seem to remember having to have the "icons" directory as a sub directory of the directory containing the class file.
But If that's not right, its a sub directory of the dir from which the program is run (or rather a sub dir from the directory one step up from where the code's package heirarchy begins).
I've had code compile and run with no icons showing up because the directory structures were wrong. Good luck!
