:-) Sorry that I have not been clear. Let me detail a bit further. I have a project that I will call MyProjectA. It is structured according to Maven conventions:
MyProjectA |-- pom.xml `-- src |-- main | `-- resources | `-- myImage.png | `-- java | `-- com | `-- mycompany | `-- app | `-- Main.java | `-- ClassRequiringImage.java `-- test `-- java `-- com `-- mycompany `-- app `-- MainTest.java The image is loaded by the ClassRequiringImage class with the code line I described earlier. The Main class can be executed and uses the ClassRequiringImage class. But when it does so, getClass().getResourceAsStream("/myImage.png") returns null (which is logical, I should but the image in src/main/java for this code to work). I have a second project, MyProjectB that depends on the first one. It is not using Maven to compile and run but Ant. To use the classes of MyProjectA, I just copied the jar in MyProjectB class path. When MyProjectB uses the ClassRequiringImage class from the MyProjectA project, as the image is at the root of the JAR, getClass().getResourceAsStream("/myImage.png") returns the image. The problem is that I want to have both ways of using the code to work. At first, I had a resource package com.mycompany.app.resource containing the image, but Maven does not seem to include its content when packaging the JAR. This is why I tried to comply with the convention and moved my files to src/main/resources.
