Jonathan, I checked in some code for you. The solution is just to use absolute paths, not relative ones. This works for me both in Eclipse and from the Jar file.
Bytes[] data = getResourceAsBytes("org/openscience/jmol/app/images/angleButton.gif") private static byte[] getResourceAsBytes(String fullPath) { byte[] buf = new byte[1024]; byte[] bytes = new byte[4096]; BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(ClassLoader .getSystemResourceAsStream(fullPath)); int len = 0; int totalLen = 0; try { while ((len = bis.read(buf)) > 0) { totalLen += len; if (totalLen >= bytes.length) bytes = ArrayUtil.ensureLength(bytes, totalLen * 2); System.arraycopy(buf, 0, bytes, totalLen - len, len); } buf = new byte[totalLen]; System.arraycopy(bytes, 0, buf, 0, totalLen); } catch (Exception IOException) { Logger.error("WebPanel IO ERROR reading resource " + fullPath); return null; } return buf; } On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 8:06 PM, Jonathan Gutow <gu...@uwosh.edu> wrote: > I've run into a problem using some of the internal resources inside the > Jmol.jar for WebExport.
