 |

Hi,
I have an application that was developed using JBuilder Foundation. The app
uses Java2D and it needs a GIF to run.
It works fine in JBuilder Foundation. I can create a JAR file and run it
outside of the IDE.
Now I would like to Natively Compile it. I have it loaded into JBuilder
Developer where it also works fine in the IDE but the natively compiled
executable throws a java.lang.NullPointerException because it can't find the
GIF. I have tried putting the gif in various locations relative to the
executable.
On the Project -> Project Properties -> Resource page I have tried it with
both *.gif = Copy and Do Not Copy. The error is the same either way.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

I am guessing that this is a static GIF file and the content of the GIF
wont change. If thats the case then add that GIF to your project (Add
files to the project option). Further load that GIF file in your code
like this
<your package name>.<your class name>.class.getResource ("your_file.GIF");
Hope this helps.

Look at the JAR file on which the native executable is based. If the
GIF file isn't in the JAR file, then it won't be in the executable,
hence your problem.
