A little insight, I hope.  My group had this problem about 2 weeks ago. 
What we figured out was that JBuilder's project looks in the project
directory for the images (if you are using a relative path).  When you
run it for real, however, Java, as at least I would expect it to, looks
in your classes location.  Putting the images location in your classpath
is one solution, but if/when you deploy it, you will probably want them
with your classes rather than having to set up special directory
structures so they'll be found.

Since we kinda wanted to see the GIFs in the designer as well as when we
ran them, we set our source and classes locations for the project to the
same directory and may also have set the convention that the project
would include only java files for the package it was named for (i.e. one
project = one package).  That way, the package and the classes location
are the same so JBuilder and Java will both speak the same language, so
to speak.  I suppose you could set the source to a different location...

Hope it helps...
