How to pack class and resource(image) in a execute-Jar file?
I want to pack all my class files and its resource within a execute Jar file. But my program can't access the resource file(image) in the same file.
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("image\\a.gif");
The image folder is same with my class file package folder. "com". It works properly if I don't put those in a jar file. Please tell me how to solve the problem. Thank you.

Or:
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(((URLClassLoader
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(((URLClassLoader
You'd be better off not casting the class loader instance as the class loader may not necessarily be a URLClassLoader.
The getClassLoader() method may in fact return null in some instances so using the Class's getResource() method is probably a bit safer.
Another option is to use the system class loader:
ClassLoader.getSystemResou

Can you give an example?

From the javadoc for getClassLoader:
Returns the class loader for the class. Some implementations may use null to represent the bootstrap class loader. This method will return null in such implementations if this class was loaded by the bootstrap class loader.

Hi everybody,
Thank for all of your comments. But I still can't see the image in my program.
My Jar file contains 2 folder :
com/java/a.class
image/a.gif
All method above I have tried. Hmmm... There has something I miss? Please give me more comments. Thank you.

Do you include the jar file in your classpath?
Try:
new ImageIcon(a.class.getResou
new ImageIcon(a.class.getResou
