I have the following file layout (your typical eclipse layout) :
project
--images
-----img.png
--bin
----pkg1
------Main.class
----pkg2
------ImageLoader.class
Now image ImageLoader loads an image using the path "images/img.png". This will run fine in eclipse, but I'd like to be able to run this code via the command line without breaking eclipse compatibility. It seems that using something like "java pkg1/Main" from the bin directory will seek "bin/images/img.png" which of course does not exist. I tried adding the project directory to the classpath, without success.
So, is my intuition right and are pathnames relative to the location where to code actually resides and not to all possible locations in the classpath ?
Also, how could I use the java command to successfully run the program without breaking eclipse compatibility ?
