Eclipse add files to project

I want to have a place to store my image files to use in my Java project a really simple class that just loads an image onto a panel.

I have looked everywhere and cannot find how to do this. How do I do this? I have tried adding a new folder to the project, adding a new class folder to the project, and adding a new source folder to the project.

The folders always say they are on the build path, so I'm not sure what to do. When i added it, i got a popup that told me something about excluded filters. But when i removed the folder from the libraries in the build path, and changed my file path to:.

I at least stopped getting the IOException thrown. I must not be adding the image to the panel correctly, because it's not showing up, but at least it found the file I think. Also the xml folder has been copied onto disk but not in the project.
