For creating a runnable JAR file from Eclipse we may refer to the article "Creating Runnable Jars in Eclipse (or other IDE...or by hand):" (https://www.cefns.nau.edu/~edo/Classes/CS477_WWW/Docs/RunnableJarsinEclipse.html), it mentioned that we need do four things as

1. Make sure create a package for our code, not just create a project in Eclipse
2. Create the sub-pakage (subfolder) for our resource files under the main package of our code (note that the sub-package is under main package, is not only in the project)
3. get all file references from getResource() (getting the URL reference)
4. Export of files as a runnable JAR in Eclipse (File -> Export... -> select Runnable JAR files -> next -> ...)

But for image file in the example code of above article it only creates the ImageIcon, it does not create the SWT Image, and there are many questions in the Internet for how to get SWT Image from URL or how to convert ImageIcon to SWT Image, below is the example code for getting the SWT Image from URL,

Image imgSWT=null;  // Image class is the SWT Image class
ImageDescriptor imgDesc=null;
java.net.URL imgURL = YourClassName.class.getResource("path/image_filename");

if (imgURL != null) {
    imgDesc = ImageDescriptor.createFromURL(imgURL);
    imgSWT = imgDesc.createImage();
}
