This one. The string is converted to a URL, the ImageIcon javadocs
say, so if the path is to a resource in a classpath, it should work,
too.

The code should probably be modified to call the
PropUtils.getResourceOrFileOrURL(String) method, so it would work for
anything.

Anything Java can handle in ImageIcon, which is what you've listed. I
think png, too.
