Firstly i applied panel on whole background & then created a label to set an image here. JFrame picture
I saw that there’s so many questions & answers related to null pointer exception but no one worked for me. the ImageIcon is not being able to fetch the image. I even tried by creating a folder & gave the path but the error remains same. Netbeans: 12.5 jdk:8 Please help me.Thanks in advance.

The problem is in this line,
ImageIcon img= new ImageIcon(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource("shop_removebg.png")));
images on request to show the errors:

Answer
Given the project structure, the valid path string to the image will be:
"/com/mycompany/supershop/shop_removebg.png"
Always use the / prefix to indicate a search from the root of the classpath.
