ImageTest

There seems to be many ways of putting an image into an applet, but depending on whether or not the files are in a jarfile seems to change whether or not the pictures display. I am still trying to figure out what the problems are.

Here is a brief description given by the author of the code:

The applet loads the images from a jar file. The top image is an actual Image painted on a JPanel, and the bottom image is just an ImageIcon added to a JLabel.

Basically, to extract an image (or anything, for that matter) from a jar file, just use the

this.getClass().getResource("filename-of-the-image.jpg");

getResource returns a URL which points to the image in the JAR file.
