I'm using eclipse witht the jwindows addon thingy that lets me have a gui

this is my code im using

C#

setIconImage(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(
         Skin_Stealer_Pro.class.getResource("icon.png")));

in

Java

public Skin_Stealer_Pro() throws IOException {}

the weird thing about this is, I can run is, by right clicking and run as java application and it works the icon is on the window, but when I export the file onto my desktop, and then try to run it, the window dose not open, but i look in my windows task manager and I see it is running, so its running but its not running, I was wondering if anyone can help me fix this problem?

When you say "export the file onto my desktop", what do you mean?
Are you moving the .jar file to your desktop or are you doing something else?

I go into eclipse and click export and then select the export destination to the desktop and it exports the jat file to the desktop

Then add a try-catch around the line(s) you think fail and log the exception message and stack trace.

+5!

There is an exception popping in your code. That's why the app is running but not visible.

exception popping? whats that?

The app probably does not find the image used. Therefor an Exception is popping up.

can you a different code I can use other than this one that will work, like what do you do to put an icon on your projects in java?

you have to make sure the Icon is available. That's not about the code, it's more about you organizing the resources.

Please make a folder "resources" aside of the folder "src". That is common sense.
In "resources" you'll create a folder "icons" and put the icon in there. Then reference that path and get the icon:
