How to export jar with images on Eclipse?

Question

I created sort of chess game (it isn\'t exactly chess but I don\'t know how it called in English) and I want to export it as runnable jar.

The problem is that image

Let me put a couple of examples in case you may find them interesting:

To write the resource (image) from jar file into a DataOutPutStream:

public static void readResourceFromJarToDataOutputStream(String file,
        DataOutputStream outW) {
    try {
        InputStream fIs = new BufferedInputStream(new Object() {
        }.getClass().getResourceAsStream(file));
        byte[] array = new byte[4096];
        for (int bytesRead = fIs.read(array); bytesRead != -1; bytesRead = fIs
                .read(array)) {
            outW.write(array, 0, bytesRead);
        }
        fIs.close();
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

To load the resource in memory (byte array):

public static byte[] readResourceFromJarToByteArray(String resource) {
    InputStream is = null;
    byte[] finalArray = new byte[0];
    try {
        is = new Object() {
        }.getClass().getResourceAsStream(resource);
        if (is != null) {
            byte[] array = new byte[4096];//your buffer size
            int totalBytes = 0;
            if (is != null) {
                for (int readBytes = is.read(array); readBytes != -1; readBytes = is
                        .read(array)) {
                    totalBytes += readBytes;
                    finalArray = Arrays.copyOf(finalArray, totalBytes);
                    System.arraycopy(array, 0, finalArray, totalBytes- readBytes, 
                            readBytes);
                }
            }
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        try {
            if (is != null)
                is.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    return finalArray;
}
