title: Where to put resources while making jar for Swing desktop application?
body: <p>I wanted to know where should I keep my resources like I am displaying some images, playing some media files while making executable jar?  Should I include it in executable jar or I should keep outside the executable jar? </p>
  
  <p>If I keep the resources outside the jar what URL location URL should I pass in my program to access the images?</p>
  
  <p>Actually the problem is I want to make distributable copy of my jar file.</p>
  
  <p>If I give location of my local system for accessing the images and media files it will work in my system but what when I distribute it in other systems?</p>
