Loading a static Texture inside a jar file

[skappler]

Hey guys!
I'm currently trying to export my game into a single jar file. I used JarSplice to create a Fat Jar.
My Game loads the Spritesheet as a Slick2D Texture in a static variable.

At first I tried to load the Texture like this:

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13

public static Texture loadTexture(String path) {       try {          return TextureLoader.getTexture("PNG",new FileInputStream(path));       } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {          e.printStackTrace();       } catch (IOException e) {          e.printStackTrace();       }             return null;    }

This worked in Eclipse, but not exported as a jar. I googled for a while and changed it to:

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13

public static Texture loadTexture(String path) {       try {          return TextureLoader.getTexture("PNG",MyTextureLoader.class.getResourceAsStream(path));       } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {          e.printStackTrace();       } catch (IOException e) {          e.printStackTrace();       }             return null;    }

Now the Game won't even work in eclipse and I get a "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError" when I try to run the game. More precisely when I try to bind the texture.

Could anyone help me?

I recently had the same problem and here is how I fixed it.

1. Instead of putting all my resources in a res folder I put images directly in my texture package, sounds in my audio package, so on and so forth.


2. I use davedes's texture class (thank you davedes for the tutorials and all code has the proper copyrights attached).

1   2   3   4   5   6   7

private static void initTexture(String fileName) {       try {          textures.add(new aufait.textures.Texture(Textures.class.getResource(("/aufait/textures/" + fileName))));       } catch (IOException e) {          e.printStackTrace();       }    }

Just as another example here is how I load my audio resources.

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13

private void generateSound(String fileName, int index, boolean lastSound) {       BufferedInputStream bufferedInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(Audio.class.getResourceAsStream("/aufait/audio/" + fileName));       WaveData waveFile = WaveData.create(bufferedInputStream);       if (lastSound) {          try {             bufferedInputStream.close();             waveFile.dispose();          } catch (IOException e) {             e.printStackTrace();          }       }       AL10.alBufferData(buffer.get(index), waveFile.format, waveFile.data, waveFile.samplerate);    }

Thank you VERY much! It worked perfectly. I didn't think this would be solved that quick
