Re: Loading images from executable jar file?

May 7th, 2008

I did this:
ImageIcon flagIcon = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("images/flag2.gif"));

and when I go to run my program in eclipse, I get java.lang.NullPointerException... I compiled the executable jar file anyway, and now it doesn't run...

I went back to check that I compiled the jar file correctly with all the image files and I'm sure I did.. It's root contains: images/*.gif META-INF/*.mf *.class

I also verified my MAIN-CLASS and it is is one of the the *.class files in the root...

What's going on here?

EDIT:
I tried exporting the .jar through Eclipse this time instead of using the afs system at my school and it gave me this error:

JAR creation failed. See details for additional information.
Exported with compile warnings: /minesweeper/src/MineSweeper.java
Resource is out of sync with the file system: '/minesweeper/images/flag2.GIF'.
Resource is out of sync with the file system: '/minesweeper/images/mine.GIF'.
Resource is out of sync with the file system: '/minesweeper/images/qmark.GIF'.

Yes, I'm still finishing up that minesweeper game
