Currently in my application, I'm using

tmpButton = new JButton(new ImageIcon("./guiSRC/images/Open24.gif"));

To get an image to a button; however I want to make it so that it'll work in both my IDE, and when its packed into a .jar.


What would be the way to go and get an image file from the project or after its been patched into the jar?

Load it by url. I would recommend an images directory in the root of the application:

tmpButton = new JButton(new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/images/guiSRC/images/Open24.gif")));

just add the directory to your files to jar

jar -cf my.jar *.class images
