Not that I'm aware of.
Why not turn the problem up the other way? Include the image file
somewhere inside the package level directory that contains Abc.class and
use ant to run the compilation and, if that succeeds, assemble the jar
file.
It sounds as though you don't use ant or maven to run your compiles. I
use ant, which is fairly easy to learn. Using it has the advantave that
once you've set it up to compile a package hierarchy and create a jar
file containing it, you can easily add/rename/scrap classes etc without
changing the build file, which is what you create to tell ant what you
want it to do: once its set up, compilation, javadocs and jar creation
are all handled automatically by the "ant" command.
