libglade doesn't know about jar files - it was written for c, where
files would normally be placed somewhere like $prefix/share/app/pixmaps. 

If this is not an option (i.e. you really want the images to go in the
jar file), perhaps you could extract the images to a temporary location
when the application starts and have glade refer to these images.
