Images out of a jar

[Sam Takoy]

Hi,

Can someone point to a source where it is explained how to add image
files to a jar and then use them in an applet. I'm not able to find the
info regarding where to put the image within the jar and then how to
extract it later.

Many thanks in advance,

Sam

They can be anywhere but maybe something like:
images/foobar.jpg
would be logical.

new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("images/foobar.jpg"))

should get the image in a form that be used by Swing controls.

As Arne's suggests, getResource() is a convenient approach. Although
this example is an application rather than an applet, you might have a
look here:
