    Default How do I export an JLabel image with my game?

    I made a game where basically, a ball (A JLabel with the icon set to a ball image from my computer) bounces across the screen, and when you click it, the speed increases. When I exported the game, it worked fine on my computer and everything, however I sent it to my friend and because his computer didn't have the path of the ball, the ball didn't show up. So basically what im asking is, how can I get an image to export along with the game?

    Heres the code that set the balls icon image


    ball.setFilePath("C:\\Users\\Nathan\\Documents\\Red Ball.png");
ball.setIcon(new ImageIcon(ball.getFilePath()));

    Package the image, along with all class files, within a jar file. Then access the image by calling getClass().getResource (take a look at the ImageIcon tutorial at Oracle for details: How to Use Icons (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Using Swing Components) )
