Hi there 👋
I'm using the VS Code extension for Java Development (by Red Hat or something?) and am trying to build myself a very basic game engine for a 2D platformer. It's just a side project as I haven't used Java since the early Minecraft modding days.
Anyways, I'm trying to use a InputStream to get a BufferedImage (java.awt, I believe) to but it cannot seem to find my image resource. Code snippets below!
If someone can give me a hand, I would very much be appreciative! Cheers! :)

That's the path I'm using...
The method I'm using to load the image.
If it helps, my bin folder does not contain a resources folder. I've tried adding it to the VS Code classpath, I don't know if that's 100% correct, but it's the steps ChatGPT suggested (yes, I know)
This exact code worked perfectly in Eclipse, but having switched to a new project in VS Code, using the Java: New Java Project palette command, it just refuses to work.

It will get the data from the classpath. Maven-layout projects define src/main/resources as a place to put not-to-compile files so that they're put in the app's classpath when running/packaging.
So fundamentally, for the above to work, the classpath needs to include something that has a sprites folder, that has a debug folder, that contains a square.png file. How to do that in VSC, I wouldn't know.

are you using maven/gradle?
