How to make standalone program in java?

Question

I have try use jar and it work. but how to access a folder that in the jar file?
example:
------files---------------------------------------------------------------
pic ( folder that storage images)
mainClass.txt (set where is the "main" class)
myclass.class
main.class
and i run in command line:
jar cmf mainClass.txt run.jar *.*
after that its created run.jar that store all files that i want
In main.class i get a images from a pic folder.
So how i get images from a pic folder after i make a standalone jar file ( get a path of image (up one folder of my main.class folder) in jar file where my main.clss is in the jar file too ) ?
thx..

Answer 1

Actually i access my image from other class, class that not contain main class, let call myclass, myclass isn't contain main class
i hava set path
"ImageIcon icon" in the myclass.class
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(myclass.class.getClassLoader().getResource(path));its error:
"Could not find the main class. Program will exit"
i try:
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(main.class.getClassLoader().getResource(path));but the same error too..
