Description nickdegraeve 2007-11-21 11:17:26 UTC 
The code generated when getting resources is getClass().getResource(..) but it may be unsafe according to FindBugs
(http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/bugDescriptions.html#UI_INHERITANCE_UNSAFE_GETRESOURCE):

"Usage of GetResource may be unsafe if class is extended

Calling this.getClass().getResource(...) could give results other than expected if this class is extended by a class in
another package."
Comment 1 Jana Maleckova 2008-09-05 16:22:49 UTC 
could you be more precise ? which module generates this code or where we can find it ?
thanks in advance
Comment 2 Petr Dvorak 2008-10-09 13:36:26 UTC 
Without requested information for long time - INVALID. We can't do anything in this case, so please reporter add
requested information and reopen issue. Thanks in advance.
Comment 3 nickdegraeve 2008-10-09 15:11:13 UTC 
My apologies for not reacting sooner.

I don't know the exact name of the module but the code is generated when you try to set an icon for a Swing component
using the "Properties" window of the "Design" view.

Example of the code generated when an icon is set for a JButton:

   jButton1.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/javaapplication3/myIcon.gif")));

Reassigning to form for further evaluation.
