ImageIcon throws a null pointer exception when the supplied URL cannot be
located.
It is better to specify the gif relative to a class, you just need to make
sure that the gif file is in the right place relative to the class file. In
your case, "directory.gif" needs to
be in the same directory as the class file that contains the
aliasChooser.setIcon() property setting. If you add the gif file to the
project, and it is placed in the same directory as the java file, JBuilder
will copy it over into the similar location on the output path.
