Hello!
Using the URL instead of regular file access did help. When thinking about
it, it really is weird that it worked in Netscape, particularily because
both were running it with the Plug-In. I ended up using:
TextureLoader texLoader = new
TextureLoader(getClass().getResource("checkered.gif"),this);
which also lets me store the image in a JAR file.
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards
