Can a JPG be in the .JAR file?

I have a program that has a JPG photograph displayed. I have to have the photograph in the same directory as the JAR file to find it. Is there a way to put the picture in the JAR file and have it be found by the program? I would rather just have the JAR file to distribute rather than the JAR file and the JPG.

Thanks, Bobbo

I haven't done this myself but it seems doable: How to include images in a JAR - CodeGuru Forums

You can achieve this is you use the 'classpath' to load the JPEG as a resource

Jar files are a sort of zip archive so they can include any file you want.

A less NB-centric discussion is available in the Packaging Programs in JAR files section of Oracle's Tutorial. The thread at CodeGuru linked to by javanb includes a useful post about how to access the images from within your program.

Got it working, thanks folks.
