Eclipse exported Runnable JAR not showing images

Question

My images will not load when running a JAR file exported from Eclipse.

I have the images in a resources class package. I\'ve tried a images source folder as well wit

Answer 1

Unless you have to have you files in the jar, this is probably the simplest way of doing it:

header = ImageIO.read(new File("./resources/header.jpeg"));

header has to be an Image/BufferedImage. This goes to the folder that the runnable jar is within and looks for a folder called resources. http://i.stack.imgur.com/x8xtO.png

Answer 2

Two Simple steps:

1 - Add the folder to Build Path;

2 - Use this:

    InputStream url = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/load04.gif");
    myImageView.setImage(new Image(url));
