I use the getResource(String) method in ClassLoader
to obtain URLs which I then use to load my textures
(or for any other reason).
I use code along the lines of
URL u = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("/fred.jpg");
Where the 'this' has been loaded from the same JAR as that which contains
the jpeg. The leading '/' on the path name of the jpeg within the JAR is important.
