Title: Loading resources with getResource

Ric,

Please don't cross post the same question to multiple newsgroups.

I have a number of plugins for various uses.  Sometimes I need to load resources, such as image files, etc.  I usually do it via MyClass.class.getClassLoader.GetResource(resourceName).  This works fine in plugins.  But if I  use this in a simple Java app (e.g. With a static main() method) the loading of the resource always fails.  The classloader finds the various classes of the app without problem, but can’t seem to find the resource.

Is there  a good way to do this?  Or am I simply missing something?

TIA,
Ric
