Hello,
I tried out packaging a simple program which loads an image from a file. When I tried to run the executable jar, it gives me an Exception message which looks like this:
--------------------------------------------------
Samik@mylappy >java -jar Test.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument cannot be null

------------------------------------------------------------ -
My packing command and packed file list are below:
Samik@mylappy >jar cvfm Test.jar Test.manifest *

adding: images/ (in=0) (out=0) (stored 0%)
adding: images/splash.jpg (in=16183) (out=15331) (deflated 5%)
Total:
------
(in = 3031072) (out = 2762554) (deflated 8%)
============================================================ =====
The offending line of the code is:
Test.java:34: Image SplashImage=new Image(display, this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(IMAGE_PATH+"splash.jpg"));
IMAGE_PATH is a static string containing "image/"
The program runs fine as such from the command prompt (java Test), with all the class paths set etc. Only when I pack the reqd. files in the jar and try running, the problem appears. Did I miss any file? I tried including the dll's (I am running on Win XP Home), that didn't help.
Thanks for any pointers.

This might be just you making a typo here in the NG, but you are adding
the image to the "images" directory and the static string contains the
path "image/", missing the "s".
In this case java can't find the file you've specified in (IMAGE_PATH +
"splash.jpg"), if it is not because of the above problem I'm not sure why.
regards,
martin

Thanks for replying Martin. It was a typo in my post. Sorry about that.

The problem is in loading the image from the jar file. I think I have to use some tool to extract the image from jar file while executing.

Ok I found out the error. Here are the details:
Apparently getClass().getResourceAsStream(IMAGE_PATH+"splash.jpg") should get the image from inside jar file too. My problem was in using System.getProperty("file.separator") in constructing IMAGE_PATH. My OS is Windows, but I was running the program on Cygwin. So file.separator was coming as "\". Once I hardcoded IMAGE_PATH="images/", the jar executed fine.
Basically, I was compiling from WINDOWS but trying to execute in Unix, so there was a messup.
Hope it helps somebody.
