Ok...So JARs are great because they save you time in moving the applet code
around....but what if you want to use the same jar as an application?

I have a jar ajar.jar which has an applet, an application, and a bunch of
images in it. As an applet it's hunky-dory. As an application the images are
nowhere to be found (jre -cp ajar.jar MainClass) can't find the images. I
realized that the jar is on the CLASSPATH, not the PATH! I copied the JARred
images out of the jar and into the filesystem, and it works fine. Is there a
way of using jarred images in applications?

This has to be a common thing. Is there a pattern for handling this?

Thanks
Ted the Perplexed.
