I have a Swing app that uses .gif files for displaying on icons and such. I was wondering what is the most common location to place these extra files when when packaging. i.e. If I have a class com.mycompany.CustomerEntry that uses a file customer_icon.gif, should I place the customer_icon.gif file in /com/mycompany/customer_icon.gif or /com/mycompany/somedir/customer_icon.gif or /customer_icon.gif, etc ......
I know it doesn't mater one way or the other but I was wondering if there was a generally accepted standard as how to do this. I would welcome any ideas from anybody as to what method they use. Thanks, Robert
