Add images to jar

Question

I want to set icon to my JFrame. I do the following:

Image icon = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(\"src/images/icon.jpg\");
this.setIconImage(icon);
         


        

Answer 1

getResource() loads a resource from classpath, not an OS path, and the after compilation your classpath will not include the /src folder, but rather just its contents. So you'd better try /images/icon.jpg.

Also you may find this discussion somewhat useful.
