What I mean when I say that the jar file won't open is that when I
double-click on it, it will not execute. I always make sure that the
program runs BEFORE I jar it all up. But I can't get things to run
properly - and sometimes not at all - from the jar.
For example, when I use the following line, the program runs fine when
the images folder is in the same folder as the jar file. But when I
move the jar file, it opens, but doesn't have the image. That tells
me that it is NOT reading from the image folder inside the jar.
myCardBack = new ImageIcon("images/background.jpg");
When I change it to
myCardBack = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("images/
background.jpg"));
The jar file won't even execute. Actually, I suspect that it may
execute, but is hanging up somewhere before anything becomes visible.
My suspicion is based on the fact that I can't delete the jar file. I
get an error indicating that it is "in use". Again, the program runs
fine when it is NOT jarred.
I've also tried
myCardBack = new
ImageIcon(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("images/
background.jpg"));
Same result - the jar file either will not execute or is hanging up
somewhere. Program works fine un-jarred.
