So where is this bk.png file located?  If you are running this from 
inside JBuilder, then you should know that user.dir (the "current" 
directory) points to the <jbuilder>\bin directory, so the new 
File("bk.png") will only work if you place bk.png in that directory.

If you are placing the bk.png file in the classpath, in the same 
directory as the BK class, then you need to reference it like this :

getClass().getResourceAsStream("bk.png")
