Описание тега imageicon

An ImageIcon is an implementation of the Icon interface in Java Swing. ImageIcon paints an icon from GIF, JPEG, or PNG files^{1 2} or a java.awt.Image.

1. Sources for images might be constructed from
   • File (rarely useful)
   • String denoting the path to a File (N.B. often leads to the 'loading resource error mentioned below').
   • URL (typically used for embedded-resource)
   • Image
   • InputStream that is from/of an image.
2. The image formats you can rely on the J2SE to handle is as above, JPG, PNG & GIF. OTOH Java based image I/O formats are provided by Service Provider Interface. Any particular JRE might support more formats.
