Jar File Image Loading Problem

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

I just learned how to create Executable jar Files and package Folders into Jar files. The problem I have is that my Executable jar file loads the Image in the directory in which it was created, but once I move it somewhere else It doesn’t load the Image.

#2

This will load an image from within a jar file.


String fileName = ...;
BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream( fileName ));
#3

This piece of code did it for me…

URL imageURL = getClass().getResource(“ImageDirectory/ImageFile.jpg”);
Image Picture = new ImageIcon(imageURL).getImage();

Thanks Zoto.
