Uhm, I was thinking the new Image would manage to close the stream?
Now looking at the API, on the one hand it is told "Application code
is still responsible for closing the input stream" on the other hand
an example is given with
"This constructor may be used to load a resource as follows:
new Image(device, clazz.getResourceAsStream("file.gif"));"
which does not allow to close the stream since it is created inside
the Image-constructor

I have exactly the same issue.
The following SWT code:
Menu menuNew = new Menu(shell , SWT.DROP_DOWN);
MenuItem itemNew = new MenuItem(menuFile , SWT.CASCADE);
itemNew.setText("&New");
itemNew.setMenu(menuNew);
Image img = new Image(display, "images/new.gif");
itemNew.setImage(img);
generates a org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: i/o error
(java.io.FileNotFoundException: images/xml.gif (No such file or directory))
while executing the jar.
I have tried your solution of using an InputStream but it crashes the
application all together.
Also, using the full path to this image generates the
FileNotFoundException again.
Any ideas what can I do?
Cheers.

For this to work it can't be in a jar. This expects only local files.

If you don't mind bring JFace in, you can do:
Image i =
ImageDescriptor.createFromURL(this.getClass().getResource("/dir/file.gif ");
Here "dir" directory must be at the root of some jar in your classpath.
The leading slash "/" is very important. It tells getResource() to look
for the file starting from the root of the jars. If you did not have the
leading slash, it would add your this.getClass()'s package name in front
(after converting "." or "/"). So for example if your class was
a.b.MyClass, then this.getClass().getResource("dir/file.gif") would
actually look in your jars for "/a/b/dir/file.gif".
Or if you don't want JFace, then you will need to do:
Image i = null;
InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/dir/file.gif");
if (is != null) {
try {
i = new Image(display, is);
} finally {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
}
