How can I change the IDEA creation folder from TEMP to something else?

I am trying to run:

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.URL;

public class img extends Applet
{
    private Image img;
    public void init()
    {
        img = null;
    }
    public void loadImage()
    {
        try
        {
            img = getImage(getCodeBase(), "winter.jpg");
            System.out.println(img);
            System.out.println(prepareImage(img, 300, 400, this));
        }
        catch(Exception e){}

        System.out.println(getDocumentBase());
    }
    public void paint(Graphics g)
    {
        if (img == null)
            loadImage();
        g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this);
    }
}

      

But it doesn't find winter.jpg if it's in file: / C: / Users / Admin / AppData / Local / Temp /

System.out.println (getDocumentBase ()); returns: File: / C: /Users/Admin/AppData/Local/Temp/AppletPage1228891259548967526.html Instead of: C: / Users / Admin / Dropbox / dev / idea / Exam3 / out / production / Exam3 / (where the .class files are )

I am using IntelliJ IDEA 12.

I just want to put my JPEGs in the Exam3 folder instead of the Temp folder. Any ideas?

The workaround for loading a resource using getDocumentBase () allows you to get the URL using the getResource class of the class, which gets the resources relative to the class.

URL base = img.class.getResource("/data/winter.jpg");
Image img = ImageIO.read(base);

      



where data is the folder in the Exam3 folder in your case that contains this class file.
