    Default Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

    The full problem:

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at javax.swing.ImageIcon.<init>(ImageIcon.java:181)
    at rtype.Craft.<init>(Craft.java:19)
    at rtype.Board.<init>(Board.java:27)
    at rtype.RType.<init>(RType.java:9)
    at rtype.RType.main(RType.java:20)

    My Code:

    Craft.Java
    package rtype;
     
    import java.awt.Image;
    import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
     
    import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
     
    public class Craft {
     
    	private String craft = "/users/gregorystedman/images/craft.png";
     
    	private int dx;
    	private int dy;
    	private int x;
    	private int y;
    	private Image image;
     
    	public Craft() {
    		ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource(craft));
    		image = ii.getImage();
    		x = 40;
    		y = 60;
    	}
     
    	public void move() {
    		x += dx;
    		y += dy;
    	}
     
    	public int getX() {
    		return x;
    	}
     
    	public int getY() {
    		return y;
    	}
     
    	public Image getImage() {
    		return image;
    	}
     
    	public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
     
    		int key = e.getKeyCode();
     
    		if (key == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT) {
    			dx = -1;
    		}
     
    		if (key == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT) {
    			dx = 1;
    		}

    		}
     
    		if (key == KeyEvent.VK_DOWN) {
    			dy = 1;
    		}
    	}
     
    	public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {

    Default Re: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

    There is a problem with a null value on line 19. What is null on that line?
    Separate the call to ImageIcon into separate statements and print out the results returned by the geResource() method to see its value.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
