Well, yes, there is a point. But from another hand, u can simply create
a separate class for loading all external resources, so that u can
write functions which accept only filenames of external resources, while
full path is stored right in your 'ResourcesLoader' class. Moreover, u can
pass some component object (Applet instance, for example) to
ResourcesLoader constructor , so that the reference to the Component would be
stored there. After that all u got to do is passing this ResourcesLoader
to any class that wants to load any external resources. Actually u can
even be smatter and make ResourcesLoader class a static member. After
that there wouldn't be any need in passing it to other classes at all. I
know that it doesn't sound like a good style of object programming, but
they did make System.out stream a static member, didn't they?
