Im making blackjack and currently my images are not being displayed in their labels. I don't know whats wrong as I've imported everything properly and the default ones get changed to nothing, but not updated with any images.

fault images are showing up just fine. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this issue?

First, make sure that the image files you are trying to display are in the correct directory and that the paths you are using to access them in your code are correct.

Next, double-check that you are actually setting the image to the JLabel using the setIcon() method. Make sure that you are providing a valid ImageIcon object as an argument to this method.

If you have confirmed that the image paths and setting of the icons are correct, try resizing your images to see if that makes a difference. Sometimes images can be too large for JLabels to display properly. You can use ImageIcon's getImage().getScaledInstance() method to resize your images before setting them on the JLabel.

Lastly, check if there are any layout issues causing the JLabels not to display properly. Make sure that your JFrame or JPanel layout is set up correctly and that there is enough space for the JLabels to be displayed.

If none of these solutions work, consider sharing a minimal reproducible example of your code so that others can better assist you in troubleshooting the issue.

print System.getProperty("user.dir") to check program's working dir

Without your code it's hard to chime in.

that too ⬆️ , what is the path you're using

what is the code that gets the image from the path?

Are your files in your resource folder? Normally it's just getClass().getResource("2ofspades.png").

Place the images in your resource folder.

Yes.

It's just a new folder.
Usually you have src/main/java. Create src/main/resources.

When you reopen the thread, try to use your time to improve the quality
of the question by elaborating, providing details, context, all relevant code
snippets, any errors you are getting, concrete examples and perhaps also some
screenshots. Share your attempt, explain the expected results and compare
them to the current results.
