JAR file, saving images

I have coded a program but i need t to run on a jar file, i have been using the following code to construct it
jar cmf MyManifest Jarfile.jar *

It creates the jar file but does not put the images into the jar file and so when I run the program none of the images show up, how do i get this to work without having to issue all the images with the jar?


Thanks

how else do you intend to package the images?

I got to work in a non static context, so for everyone else having the same problem here is what i did:


URL url1 = this.getClass().getResource("image);
private ImageIcon Image = new ImageIcon(url1);


But i dont know how to get it to work in a static context.

use the thread context classloader
URL url1 = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("image");
