I try to load an image with:
ImageIcon imageIcon = new ImageIcon(url);
if I query the load status:
imageIcon.getImageLoadStatus();
it returns MediaTracker.ERRORED
Is there a way to get an error message saying what the problem was?

A:
You can try loading the image via alternate methods. That might give you better feedback:
Image img = ImageIO.read(url);
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(img);

I still want to use the background-loading feature the Java ImageIcon API supports. I could use MediaTracker directly but it seems to have the same poblem, ie you can check for failure, but not get a reason why out of it.

I am suggesting that you try alternate implementations to see if they fail as well. Then you may get a better idea on why your desired implementation fails.
