Stupid Question but need help

Question

Hey Guys
This is going to sound like a stupid question, but ive been wrecking my head now for about 2 hours on it, and cant find any help on the net.
Im looking to create an image to add to a j2me application. And basically it cant find the image.
The image is in my c:\images folder and its called pike.jpg, when i use the following the code it does not find the image
image = Image.createImage("C:/images/pike.jpg");
image = Image.createImage("C/images/pike.jpg");
image = Image.createImage("C:/\images/pike.jpg");
image = Image.createImage("C:\\images/pike.jpg");Yet when i place it in my working directory and use
image = Image.createImage("/pike.jpg");It works fine, basically how do i point to the directory c:\images\pike.jpg in java
Thanks

Thanks. Now that is clarified, I can see from the documentation:
The name parameter is a resource name as defined by Class.getResourceAsStream(name) . The rules for resolving resource names are defined in the Application Resource Files section of the java.lang package documentation.
So it's not a file name. The string you pass must be findable via the classpath.
So, if C:\images is included in your classpath (which you'll need to do for this example), then just use "/pike.jpg" and have that file live in the images directory only.
