java - Within resources in JAR

Question

We have a Jar-file. There are 3 folders:

1-st: META-INF

2-nd: resources

3-rd: classes

How can a class from folder classes get image from folder resources?

Answer 1

Here's an example:

String path = "resources/something.png";
BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(path));

To do it in a static context, like in a static initializer block:

String path = "resources/something.png";
BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(className.class.getClassLoader().getResource(path));
