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;
  }
