can not load some images to display in a JLabel??

[prabhat]

Hi,
I am getting this weird behavior. I have couple of gif and jpg files
that I would like to display in JLabel. It displays one jpg image but
it does not display other gifs and jpgs. Any idea why it would do so.
Sample code is :

JPanel logoPanel = new JPanel();
logoPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(logoPanel, BoxLayout.X_AXIS));

ImageIcon logo = new ImageIcon(_imageFileName);
JLabel iconLabel; //label containing logo
iconLabel = new JLabel( logo, SwingConstants.LEFT);
logoPanel.add(iconLabel);

Any suggestions and ideas. In case you are wondering, I also tried
using explicit MediaTracker to make sure image gets loaded although
constructor for ImageIcon loads image using MediaTracker. Thanks.

Hi Prabhat,
I solved a similar problem with JTree's using the form:

.... new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/coins1.gif"))
