Accessing images in a jar file

[Ali Yuruz]

Hallo,
At first I must say, Everything works in Eclipse.

I generate a jar file with Ant. When I start the program i doesn't find the images.

I do it like:
In eclipse there are two folders. One is src (for java files). The other is images(for images).
I put the classes and images in jar file with the following structure
-classes
-images
-META-INF

The code to read images is like:

ImageIcon img = new ImageIcon("images/+ "image1.PNG")
JButton button = new JButton(img);

Help!!!

Resources inside jars should be accessed using getClass().getResource() or getClass().getResourceAsStream()

How will be the code for my case??

Thanks.
