Help with GUI and applying images

[nomad]

I made a simple GUI program in which I want to place a .gif into a button.
I did this but the .gif does not show up. The load.gif is in the same package (chapter 10) as the project.
If I take these files to a default package it will work. So I know there must be a way to call the gif (ie make a dir to find the image)
Can someone help please

 package chapter10; 
 
 
 
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
 
 
 
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
 
import javax.swing.JButton;
 
import javax.swing.JFrame;
 
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
 
import javax.swing.JTextArea;
 
import javax.swing.JToolBar;
 
 
 
public class FeedBar2 extends JFrame {
 
 
 
public FeedBar2() {
 
super("FeedBar 2");
 
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 
// create icons
 
ImageIcon loadIcon = new ImageIcon("load.gif");
 
 
 
// create buttons
 
JButton load = new JButton("Load", loadIcon);
 
 
 
// add buttons to toolbar
 
JToolBar bar = new JToolBar();
 
bar.add(load);
 
 
 
 
 
// prepare user interface
 
JTextArea edit = new JTextArea(8, 40);
 
JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane(edit);
 
BorderLayout bord = new BorderLayout();
 
setLayout(bord);
 
add("North", bar);
 
add("Center", scroll);
 
 
 
pack();
 
setVisible(true);
 
}
 
 
 
public static void main(String[] arguments) {
 
FeedBar2 frame = new FeedBar2();
 
}
 

}
