.gif files in .jar files

[bos]

I created a jar file and included all of the class files along with all of the .gif files that go with a program. When I ran the program it did not see the .gif files even though the are included in the .jar.

Please let me know how I might fix this problem. Thanks in advance.

You must load the gif as a resource. Try using the following code to load your gifs:

ImageIcon imageIcon = new ImageIcon( getClass().getResource( "/picture.gif" ) );

You must include the directory structure in the call also. So if your gif is picture.gif in the /pics driectory, you would change the call to:

ImageIcon imageIcon = new ImageIcon( getClass().getResource( "/pics/logo.gif" ) );

Hope that helps.
