You'r trying to load an image that doesn't exist in:

jLabel1.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/org/me/myimageapp/resources/1406_animado.gif"))); // NOI18N

Since getClass().getResource( xyz ) returns null you get that exception.

You can add the folder containing the image ( the structure starting with "/org/me/" etc. etc ) to the classpath and that should do it.
