Executable jar - including image files

[Ben Wood]

Hi guys,
have just created executable jar for a small test app which includes a jpeg that is drawn on a JPanel somewhere in the program. Problem is when I double click the jar the image is not appearing.
Is there any special way I need to add resources such as image files to a jar, or a special way to reference them in the app code? I assumed I could just include the jpeg in the jar and it would work, but apparently not.

Is there any special way I need to add resources such as image files to a jar, or a special way to reference them in the app code?
Try this:

        java.net.URL iconURL = ClassLoader.getSystemResource("resources/appIcon.gif");
        Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(iconURL);
        frame.setIconImage(image);

Thanks Eugene, that worked
