I've always just placed them inside the jar file of the software. Then it is easiest found from within the software itself... (with getResource)... To see how I did it, look at the source code of the JCPCDK module on SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=10084 Look at the JChemPaint.java on how to load the resources, and build.xml (Ant) on how we add them to the jar... regards, Egon
