Hi,

I'm loading a gif file and placing it in a JButton like so:

ImageIcon myIcon = new ImageIcon("c:/gifs/mypicture.gif");
btnConnect.setIcon(myIcon);

and it works fine.  Now I want to remove the "c:/gifs/" from the path like
so:

ImageIcon myIcon = new ImageIcon("mypicture.gif");
btnConnect.setIcon(myIcon);


But this isn't working.  I tried three things:
  putting the gif file in the same folder as the .java file
  putting the gif file in the same folder as the .class file
  adding the gif file to the JBuilder project
but nothing worked.

Can someone tell me how to get the file to load without hard-coding the full
path?

Also, when I package up my entire project as a deployable jar file, will the
gif file still be accessible?

*Any* help is greatly appreciated!
