Netbeans JLabel Icon/Text Does not Display when Project is Built

in Netbeans, I am using Jlabels to display images and text within a JFrame. The Jlabels display correctly in the IDE, but when I run or build the project, some of the Jlabels don't show up(Labels that are added later on after the first few). To fix this problem I have to start all over again and add the images all at once. This sucks cause I went from 4 to 8 and now I need to add 20 more images. I really don't want to start all over again.

Try running a clean and build (Run > Clean and Build Main Project). The NetBeans ant scripts do not track the fact that your class file has a dependency on the resource files, so when the class is compiled, it is copied to build/classes (and from there to the jar), but the resources are not.

The reason: Invalid Image path... Please use path relative to your project folder. (IDE may caches the image)

Instead of specifying full path:

Ex : c:/User/Project/Myapp/src/apple.png

Use relative path to paticular class file:

Ex : src/apple.png
