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.
