Image Storage help

[gavin.87]

Hi,

I am creating a text based java adventure using a java swing client that shows images at certain events during the game. Is there a way of storing the image in a way that when transferring the game from one laptop to another, you do not need to change the path to the image within the code.

eg.
C:\\Users\\user1\\Desktop\\New folder\\OOProj\\images\\sherlock.jpg

i want to move it to
C:\\Users\\user2\\OOProj\\images\\sherlock.jpg



this is the path to the image in my game. can the image file itself maybe be stored within a jar file so that you will always reference it in the game.
