Right now we use a nice gif to show if a checkbox is activated.
The code is very simple (and a prototyp):
    if ( IsFarbig ) {
      String dateiname = "c:\\cross_16mal18.gif";
      ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon( dateiname );
      File f = new File( dateiname );
      if ( f.exists() && !Penabled && this.isSelected() ) {
        this.setIcon( icon );
      }
      else
        this.setIcon( null );
    }

I would like to have the gif in the jar-File that the archive
builder builds. And I do not know how to reference the gif when
it is not on the disk.

Anyone can help?

It will be on the classpath, use
getClass().getResource("/theimage.gif")

I got it to work with your hint, but still have a problem that
it only works when the gif is in two different locations in the
filesystem:
  src/images/my.gif
  src/de/xx/myclass/images/my.gif
I reference the gif with
    URL dateiname = getClass().getResource
         "/images/cross_16mal18.gif" );

The first location seems to be necessary in order to work
outside JBuilder. The second location to work within JBuilder.
The jar-file contains both gif's (what I don't like).

Any hint how the setup in JBuilder must be and where the gif 
is supposed to be in the filesystem??

Thank you, Jens
