[Jython-users] Icons don't appear in GUI

[Kevin M. <qk...@lm...>]

I have built a jar file from my python scripts
> cd $HOME/work
> jythonc -a -j demo.jar Gui.py

The GUI uses several gif files stored in 'icons', e.g.
    rightIcon = swing.ImageIcon("icons/right.gif")

So I add these manually to the demo.jar
> jar -uf demo.jar icons

I copy demo.jar to it's final location and run it
> cp demo.jar /tmp
> cd /tmp
> java -jar demo.jar

The GUI starts, but none of the icons appear. If I create the icons
directory locally and copy the icons there, then everything works fine.
> mkdir icons
> cp $HOME/work/icons/* icons
> java -jar demo.jar

Why is demo.jar looking in ./icons instead of in demo.jar?
