Unable to show icons in toolbar in the applet

[Shah Devang]

Hi,

In my applet jar, I have added the images that I want to show on the toolbar. In the init() function of the applet, I create the button and set the image, however, in the Java Console of the browser I get the following error message :

The image is in the applet jar file. correct? If so, you can't access it using the file.io package - you need to treat them as resources and access it through the classloader. Some hints on how to do this can be found here.
