URL url = Thread.
currentThread().
getContextClassLoader().
getResource("path/to/the/image.gif");Where path/to/the/image.gif is the relative path within the Jar.
As an aside, JAI is a separate API for doing advanced stuff with images, and it supports image formats unknown to the J2SE. Whereas your question was better suited to a 'New to Java' style group, especially since it seemed the question had to do with paths, more than images as such.

In Beehive you can create wiki pages but how do you ....

Add an image and then put a link under it, in html it's easy you wrap the image in a <a href.... > </a> link but how do you do the same in a wiki page. There was nothing in the documentation for Oracle Beehive that describes the syntax for wiki pages and what you can and can't do.
Any ideas?

When opening a previously saved png. file how do you show its layers?

I was trying to save a large file as a Photoshop PDF and my program crashed. I was lucky enough to have saved this file in both a JPEG and PNG format onto my desktop but now once I move the files back into Elements, I have no history and no layers?

No, that's right. History is only for the current session--any time you close a file its history gets cleared. And neither jpeg nor png files can have layers. If you want layers you need to save as tiff or psd. (PDFs can be layered, but not the basic pdfs that PSE can create, and PSE can't deal with a layered pdf file as a layered file, either.)

Icons disappear when creating a jar file.

I am trying to make a runable jar file of an application that i wrote however, when i export it from eclipse the icons no longer appear. All of the icons are contained in a class called gridGui. Any help would be great.
Thanks
     //Creates all of the icon files used for the buttons
     Icon fiftyCents = new ImageIcon("Fifty_Cents.gif");
     Icon oneDollar = new ImageIcon("One_Dollar2.gif");
     Icon twoDollar = new ImageIcon("Two_Dollar.gif");
     Icon threeDollar = new ImageIcon("Three_Dollar.gif");
     Icon fiveDollar = new ImageIcon("Five_Dollar.gif");
     Icon tenDollar = new ImageIcon("Ten_Dollar.gif");
     Icon freePlay = new ImageIcon("Free_Play.gif");
     Icon blank = new ImageIcon("Blank.gif");
     Icon unflipped = new ImageIcon("UnFlipped.gif");
     Icon oneDollarCoupon = new ImageIcon("One_Dollar_Coupon.gif");
     Icon threeDollarCoupon = new ImageIcon("Three_Dollar_Coupon.gif");
     Icon tShirt = new ImageIcon("TShirt.gif");
     Icon youLose = new ImageIcon("You_Lose.gif");

You are using the ImageIcon constructor that takes a file name argument. When you create the jar file the source for the images are no longer files but entries in your jar file. You have to access them using the ImageIcon constructor that takes a URL argument.
The actual URL you use is obtained (eg) from the Class method [getResource()|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html#getResource(java.lang.String)].
Suppose your Fifty_Cents.gif was in your jar file in the folder "images" then you could say:
Icon fiftyCents = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/images/Fifty_Cents.gif");Note the use of forward slashes and the fact that Fifty_Cents.gif has to be capitalised exactly as it is within the jar file.
There are other ways of organising the resources - see the getResource() documentation for details.

Hi,
I have gone through your code and the problem is that when you create jar it takes a complete path address (which is called using getAbsolutePath ) (when you extract you see the path; C:\..\...\..\ )
You need to truncate this complete path and take only the path address where your files are stored and the problem must be solved.

How do you create a jar file with txt and classes?

Hey, I'm trying to create code to create a jar file with a text file, but I can't figure out how to add the text file. Here is what I have so far:
try {
            // Name of jar file to write
            String archiveFile = "test.jar";
            Manifest jman = new Manifest();
            try {
                // Create a manifest from a file
                //InputStream fis = new FileInputStream("manifestfile");
                //Manifest manifest = new Manifest(fis);
                // Construct a string version of a manifest
                StringBuffer sbuf = new StringBuffer();
                sbuf.append("Manifest-Version: 1.0\n");
                sbuf.append("Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1\n");
                sbuf.append("Created-By: 1.5.0_19-137 (Apple Inc.)\n");
                sbuf.append("Main-Class: Main\n");
                sbuf.append("Class-Path: lib/swing-layout-1.0.3.jar\n");
                sbuf.append("X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by build\n");
                // Convert the string to a input stream
                InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(sbuf.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"));
                // Create the manifest
                jman = new Manifest(is);
            } catch (IOException e) {
            FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(archiveFile, true);// archive file is jar file name
            JarOutputStream out = new JarOutputStream(stream, jman);
            out.putNextEntry(new JarEntry("test.txt"));
            out.closeEntry();
            out.close();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
        }It creates the .jar file with the correct manifest but I can't get it to write the test.txt or anything else into the jar file.

Alright, my question has changed. Here's the code:
try {
            // Name of jar file to write
            String archiveFile = "test.jar";
            Manifest jman = new Manifest();
            try {
                // Create a manifest from a file
                //InputStream fis = new FileInputStream("manifestfile");
                //Manifest manifest = new Manifest(fis);
                // Construct a string version of a manifest
                StringBuffer sbuf = new StringBuffer();
                sbuf.append("Manifest-Version: 1.0\n");
                sbuf.append("Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1\n");
                sbuf.append("Created-By: 1.5.0_19-137 (Apple Inc.)\n");
                sbuf.append("Main-Class: Main\n");
                sbuf.append("Class-Path: lib/swing-layout-1.0.3.jar\n");
                sbuf.append("X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by build\n");
                // Convert the string to a input stream
                InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(sbuf.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"));
                // Create the manifest
                jman = new Manifest(is);
            } catch (IOException e) {
            FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(archiveFile, true);// archive file is jar file name
            JarOutputStream out = new JarOutputStream(stream, jman);
            out.putNextEntry(new JarEntry("test.txt"));
            out.write("Hi".getBytes());
            out.flush();
            out.closeEntry();
            out.close();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,ex.toString(),"BUG!",JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
        }It creates the jar file with the txt file inside it, but I can't write "Hi" inside of the text file. Any ideas?

How to create a jar file which is in the remote system?

Hi,
I have a set of files that resides in a remote system,which have to be "jar"red. I have a firewall in between. I want to create a jar file out of the files situated in the remote system.How do i go about this process.?

Hi,
You can't do that in a simple way. You need to have a port open in the firewall, and you need to have a server process on the remote machine.

How to create a Jar files

I m New in java i want to create a jar files but i dont know how please anyone help me and answer my question thanks.

Hi muhammadawood,
Creating a jar file is easy. First of all, a jar file is not much more than a zip file. You can use your favorite zip program (ie. zip, WinZip, pkzip, etc) to create the jar. To do this, zip all your classes together into a zip file. Then, rename the file w/ a .jar extension. This method doesn't support a small set of features defined by jar, but it will work nonetheless.
If you are using the Forte IDE, it has the ability to create a jar from a menu.

Nick G.

When using Pages to create an EPUB file, how would I force a page brake?

when using Pages to create an EPUB file, how would I force a page brake?

Sory Peter but you don't seem to understand.
If you pick up an e-book by random on the iBook Store, you will see that professional e-books ALWAYS start their chapters at the top of a new page, whatever the reader, the color of the page or the size of the text are.
I know how to add a new chapter with the use of the appropriate style in Pages but I want to be able to divide SECTIONS as well.
What I want to to do is to force a page break in between two paragraphs and apparently, this option is not possible with Pages.
