Hi:

I have a simple Java class: Abc.java. The method within it needs to access a small PNG file(it's an icon picture). Right now, this picture file("abc.png") is located at nonsrc/icons/abc.png

So this class is a bit pain. Abc.class won't work in the absence of abc.png. When I create an executable JAR, this is pain: always need to remember to include abc.png file inside it.

I am wondering if there is a way that I can "convert" abc.png into some sort of Java code and I can put it in Abc.java. So Abc.class alone can perform the job, without the need of presence of abc.png. Is that possible?

Hope I have explained my intention well.

Thank you.
