I am busy with a java program section where i want to use a combobox to display images on a label. The images are located in a package called "Druid", which contains a class called "Druids". When I run the program I get a pathe error and just can’t seem to solve it. Here is what I have done:

CODE

package Driud;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JLabel;



public class Druids extends JLabel
{

    private int x;
    private int y;
    
    private int ab[] = new int[5];
    String       Druidrray[]={"Clarion.gif","Pan.gif","Rhino.gif","Wonde.gif","Pluto.gif"};
    public ImageIcon DruidPictures[]={
     new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource(Druidrray[0])),
     new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource(Druidrray[1])),
     new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource(Druidrray[2])),
     new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource(Druidrray[3])),
     new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource(Druidrray[4]))};
        

    int f=0;

    public Druids()
    {
        super("Druids");
        
      
        
    }
    

    @Override
    public int getX() {
        return x;
    }

    public void setX(int x) {
        this.x = x;
    }

    @Override
    public int getY() {
        return y;
    }

    public void setY(int y) {
        this.y = y;
    }
    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        
        for(int i =0;i<=Druidrray.length;i++)
        DruidPictures[f].paintIcon(this, g,getX(),getY());
      f++;
    }
}

You're class Druid extends JLabel that means 1 JLabel not an array of 5 JLabel
You probably want something like this (there is a lot of method you do not need to overload)
and as they go into a Combo you don't need X and Y, neither do you have to repaaint

CODE

package Driud;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JLabel;



public class Druids extends JLabel
{

        ImageIcon icon;

        Druids(String filename) {
          super("")
          icon = new ImageIcon(filename);
        
}


Now the one who calls this:

CODE

String Druidrray[]={"Clarion.gif","Pan.gif","Rhino.gif","Wonde.gif","Pluto.gif"};
for(int i = 0; i < druids.length; i++) {
   combo.addItem(new Druids(Druidrray[i]);
    
}


As it goes in a Combo it is JComboBox that I would extends:

CODE

class DruidCombo extends JCombo {
    
     DruidCombo() {
         super();
         for(int i = 0; i < Druidrray.length; i++)
             addItem(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(Druidrray[i])));
     }
}
