In example below image file is placed to package com/vocrecaptor/swing/resource and set as icon to system tray icon.

SystemTray tray = SystemTray.getSystemTray();
URL imgURL = ClassLoader.getSystemResource("com/vocrecaptor/swing/resource/tray.gif");
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(imgURL);
trayIcon = new TrayIcon(image, hint, menu);
trayIcon.setImageAutoSize(true);
tray.add(trayIcon);

In Eclipse a jar file can be created from menu File->Export->Java->Runnable JAR file. There you will need to choose executable class. Ant script is also can be generated for you.

Put the image file into your source hierarchy and eclipse will include it in your jar. Call Class.getResourceAsStream to access it from classpath.
