The getResource() call is returning null, since it cannot find the 
resource.  To deal with that, you should probably use something like 
this:

    URL url = srvReports.MarcoVis.class.getResource("exit.gif");
    if ( url != null ) {
        jButton1.setIcon( new ImageIcon(url) );
    }

It should be stored in the same directory as the .class file for the 
class that loads it.
