Use forward slashes, and newImageIcon( getClass().getResource( 
"images/myImage.jpg" ));

What do you mean the "jar [sic] file won't open"?  Are you trying to open
the 
JAR file?  You should be opening the image file.

You say you're using the method, but you don't show us *how* you're using
it. 
   The problem is in how you're using the method.

To give help, we must have enough information.
