boring task for anyone that his lots of spare time in there hands

[Nikos Stavros]

I think the active code should do the exact same thing as the commented code. But at runtime the one with the file.separator methode does not work. Can any one see any errors?

getResource uses a URL not a system dependent path, so file.seperator
will not work (unless that seperator happens to be "/").

oh, I see,
thanks very much

[Nikos Stavros]

there was another thing, when I used the getResource method i couldn't debug or run the programe in eclipse, it only run as a seperate jar file. Is there any way round this?
