Java: can't display the image in JFrame

I am learning to make gui in JAVA, and I am trying to add an image in my JFrame, this is the code I tried:

    public class MyApp extends JFrame {

    private ImageIcon img;
    private JLabel imglabel;

    public MyApp(){
        setLayout(new FlowLayout());

        img = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("img.jpg"));
        //adding the label for the above Icon
        imglabel = new JLabel("this is the image");
        add(imglabel);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        MyApp app = new MyApp();
        app.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        app.pack();
        app.setVisible(true);
        app.setTitle("reminder");
    }
}

but I cannot see any image being displayed on the screen! where did I go wrong?

also the image and the class is in the same directory:

Thanks for the help :)

The icon is never set!

imglabel = new JLabel("this is the image");

Should be..

imglabel = new JLabel("this is the image");
imgLabel.setIcon(img); // or use the 3 arg constructor for JLabel
