My solution was similar:<br />
<br />
cp.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon( this.getClass().getResourc<wbr />e(&quot;/test.g<wbr />if&quot;)) ));
</div>


My solution was similar:

cp.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon( this.getClass().getResource("/test.gif")) ));

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a gif image that is called by a JLabel:<br />
<br />
JPanel cp = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0,2));<br />
cp.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon(&quot;test.gif&quot;)));<br />
<br />
I produced a jar by using this command: &quot;jar cvfm MyApp.jar manifest.txt *.class test.gif&quot;<br />
<br />
The jar is correctly created and the image is shown if the jar is run in a directory that contains &quot;test.gif&quot; (the contents of the directory are MyApp.jar and test.gif). If the gif isn't in the same directory, the image won't show. What am I doing wrong?<br />
<br />
Thank you! :)

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
