I'm using Eclipse to write some JavaFX code, and when I will try run this code:

    .getResource("Things\\back.jpg").toExternalForm()).toURI().toString()));

Because you try to load your image as an external file ,but your image is in your source folder .

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/javafx/scene/image/Image.html

All URLs supported by URL can be passed to the constructor. If the passed string is not a valid URL, but a path instead, the Image is searched on the classpath in that case.

so you can load it just with line of code :

// load an image in background, displaying a placeholder while it's loading
// (assuming there's an ImageView node somewhere displaying this image)
// The image is located in default package of the classpath

    ImageView imageView = new ImageView(new Image("/Things/back.jpg"));

You are not supposed to load a resource on your classpath using File. You can directly use the getResource() to load the resource.

ImageView imgView = new ImageView(
        new Image(getClass().getResource("/Things/back.jpg").toExternalForm()));
