How to include images in a JAR

[2arunvr]

Hi,

I have a java application(stand alone) coded as net beans application.
When i build the file i got a JAR file in the dist folder. I can get the imges only if i placed the images in the dist folder. Is there any possible to embed all the images within the JAR file itself so that the application can be executed using a single JAR file.

Hoping your valuable comments


thanks and regards

Google is your friend: Loading Images.

One can think effectively only when one is willing to endure suspense and to undergo the trouble of searching...

yeah - make new directory such as image, or include them in JAR by setting up what types of files are included in JAR itself, there's setting in netbeans project options for that

Create an images folder named images on the src folder and placed the images/icons onto there. After compiling you will get those images in the class folder .

You can access by the followings-

URL url = XLGamingCommonConstants.class.getResource("images/application-icon.gif");
Image image =Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(url);
