Read images inside jar-file

Hello

I'm making a program and I want to put the program in a JAR-file. But when I put it in one, the images aren't found. I did try many things, such as the getClass().getSourceAsStream(Filename), but no one works. Can anyone help me, please?

this is the code(I show one example, the others are similar):
The main-class App.class calls a method in the class Image

HTML Code:

---

saveIcon = new ImageIcon((Image)ImageIO.read(new BufferedInputStream(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/save.png"))));

---

This is the file-content:
App.jar

App.class
Image.class
save.png

Thanks in advance

This seems to have a way to handle it.

But why are you putting it into the jar file? Why not use an installer to place the files in an appropriate directory?

Thanks, I will try it. I have heard of installers, but I don't understand it very well. If I use an installer, is it than platform-independent? And is there a way to start the program by simple double-click on it? If I distribute the program, users don't want to open the commandline.

Well you'll have to associate the jar files with java. Otherwise they'll open a extraction tool or even Nokia PC Suite. you can always put your command line script in a bat file (and a bash file for Mac and Linux) so users can start your app with a single click

Thanks, the program works now when you download it and save it to a hard disk or USB-stick or whatever...But not when it is running from in the browser. There's no advantage by installing it, but, your explication can help me with another project.

PS: If you are interested, this is the link to the page where you can download the program, the page is in Dutch, but it's the 'Download'-button :p

If it runs in Explorer it runs in IE. Other browsers usually use explorer to open files for windows. In most Linux distros the mime type is the major factor to opening a file and I think Macs work the same way

I tried it with Firefox and Opera. Neither it works in IE.
