Include resources into the JAR [message #23304]

In my application there are images to display in forms. I can load them
from disk on the emulator. I've also imported the image in the elipse
project 'res' package/folder. But how will it go into the jar file and
how do I refer to it from the sourcecode? Currently I'm doing

Image image = Image.createImage( "/myPictue.jpg" );
picAlert.setImage(image);

TIA,
Hans

Ok folks, I found the answer myself. This works for me:

InputStream is = Object.class.getResourceAsStream("/mypic.jpg");
Image image = Image.createImage( is );

Thanks for reading,
Hans

Hello Hans,

The content in the source folders go into the JAR root, so for example if
you put a 'myPictue.jpg' in the root of a source folder it will be on the
JAR`s root and can be accessed with '/myPictue.jpg'. Just make sure your
'res' folder is a source folder and it should work fine.

Thanks David. As I wrote in my other post I've finally figured it out. Ended
up with simple two lines of code and the correct configuration.

THX,
Hans
