Within resources in JAR

We have a Jar-file. There are 3 folders:

1-st: META-INF

2-nd: resources

3-rd: classes

How can a class from folder classes get image from folder resources?

You want to use ClassLoader.getResource or getResourceAsStream, both of which will allow you to read files stored within your JAR. You can access the class loader with YourClass.class.getClassLoader(). See this question for more details: Load a resource contained in a jar

Here's an example:

String path = "resources/something.png";
BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(path));

To do it in a static context, like in a static initializer block:

String path = "resources/something.png";
BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(className.class.getClassLoader().getResource(path));
