Hello, all

I'm trying to retrieve an image from within my jar. I have looked at several posts of people who have accomplished this. I think the issue I may be having is specific to the class that uses the image, which belongs to (in this test case) the packagetest package.

This is the main class in the jar:

public class ResourceLoadTest extends JFrame{
    public ResourceLoadTest() {
        setSize(100,100);
        getContentPane().add( new packagetest.ResourcePanelTest());
        setVisible(true);
        setDefaultCloseOperation ( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
    }

    public static void main ( String args[] ){
        ResourceLoadTest r = new ResourceLoadTest();
    }
}


And this is the class in the packagetest package

public class ResourcePanelTest extends JPanel {
    ImageIcon img;
    public ResourcePanelTest() {
         img = new ImageIcon(
            getClass().getResource("images"+java.io.File.separ ator+"mixerIcon.gif")
        );
    }
    public void paint( Graphics g ){
        g.drawImage( img.getImage(), 10, 10, img.getImageObserver());
    }

}

mixerIcon.gif is located in the "packagetest/images" directory, and my app works fine when running normally (not in the jar), but I get a nullpointerexception on the getClass().getResource(...) line when running from within the jar.

I also should point out that when packaging the jar, I'm using the following command

jar cvf ResourceLoadTest .

Thanks for your help :-D

thanks
