Resizing JLabel ImageIcon With HTML

So I looked through this thread and saw the suggestion of using HTML for resizing. I've been going through the Oracle website but it only provided example for text customization in

Solution 1:

This basically requires you to have a URL reference to the image in question. This is quite easy to achieve if the image is an embedded resource (as demonstrated below), but you should be able to generate a URL from file using File#getURI#toURL

enter image description here

import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.UIManager;
import javax.swing.UnsupportedLookAndFeelException;

public class HTMLLabel {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new HTMLLabel();
    }

    public HTMLLabel() {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
                } catch (ClassNotFoundException | InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException | UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
                }

                URL url = getClass().getResource("/Chicken.png");
                System.out.println(url);

                JLabel perLabel = new JLabel("<html><img width=125 height=125 src=" + url + "></html>");
                JLabel orgLabel = new JLabel("<html><img src=" + url + "></html>");

                JFrame frame = new JFrame("Testing");
                frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                frame.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());

                GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
                gbc.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;

                frame.add(orgLabel, gbc);
                frame.add(perLabel, gbc);
                frame.pack();
                frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                frame.setVisible(true);
            }
        });
    }

}

It should be noted that scaling is pretty redumentry. I would, personally, avoid it and simple devise some kind of ImagePane that had better scaling capabilities, for example
