Strictly speaking, not a J3D question, but I know the answer anyway.
There are known bugs with the standard Java implementation of JAR files
that don't allow you to read images using the normal stuff.
Basically, to do it properly, you need to use the ClassLoader to get the
resource URL and then ask Toolkit to createImage(URL). This works in 90%
of cases. The other 10% are due to failings in the way that Java does
it's JAR file handling that are incorrect.
