Hi,
I have one program which displays images on main form.
But when I package all these classes and image files it shows file not found.
I want it should read the image files which are in the same jar file.
How can I use the files which are packaged in a Jar file?
Here's some sample code I stole from another website.
public void readTextFromJar(String s) {
String thisLine;
try {
InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream(s);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader
(new InputStreamReader(is));
while ((thisLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(thisLine);
}
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
If you have your images in a directory called res within your jar then use the following method: -
getClass().getResource("/res/image.gif")
Man... I've seen this question asked and answered a gazillion times... All you needed to do was a search, through the forum or google...
anyway, if I remember correctly, it's getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(<path to the resource>)

You can do it that way but, in general, the only difference from using getClass().getResource is that, if the path doesn't start with the class' package, you need a '/' on the start.
yeah, I just realized that from reading
