title: Why doesn't my JavaBean icon display?
body: <p>I'm using Netbeans 6.7.1 on Windows Vista, I've got a JavaBean component that works as it should and this has an associated BeanInfo class where I've set Icon 32x32 Color property to a 32x32 gif file located on the classpath. I've also set the 16x16 Color property similarly.</p>
  
  <p>I've added the bean to the palette but the icon displayed is the default ? icon.</p>
  
  <p>Is there anything else I'm supposed to set? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>

  <p>I've put some system output for the ide log in the getIcon() method of the BeanInfo class and this is correctly returning the appropriate icon when I'm viewing the palette.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried netbeans 6.8 and the problem remains.</p>
  
  <p>...</p>
  
  <p>I've now created a new project, in a folder off c:\ and I've used the netbeans 6.8 wizards to create a JavaBean and a BeanInfo class to go with it, then set the 32x32 icon using the BeanInfo editor. I've made different gif files in ms paint and adobe illustrator.</p>
  
  <p>So I've not actually written any code myself, all I've done is use dialogs to generate code and point at a gif file. </p>
  
  <p>I think I might have also lost the will to live, but that might be down the back of the sofa.</p>
