help with new game in processing/eclipse organizing resources

Silverjust

Hello
I´m working on a big project in eclipse with the processing.core.* library.
And at the moment I have some problems with organizing the resources.
should I put them into a recource folder or into a package in src?
How can I access the resources?
at the moment, I´m using
app.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("data"); and
app.sketchPath("data")
but when i export everything into a runnable jar file, it isn´t working caused by the resources.

can someone help?

I don't know if that's a good way to do it, but in my Java projects, I have a resource folder at the same level than the src folder, with same package structure.
If a class needs to load a specific resource, I put it in the same package than the class, in the resource folder, of course.
Then, I just use my ResourceUtil class to get its path...

it is working
I´m saving the resources in a resource folder called res in a package called data.
With this method, I´m creating the path for every file:

static String getPath(String path) {
    path = ref.app.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(path)
            .getFile();
    return path;
}    

The String path starts with "data/"

Because I´m using G4P, I had to change the loadStyle_FromSketch method in GCustomSlider in the G4P library:

private boolean loadStyle_FromSketch(String style) {

    // First attempt to locate the style inside the sketch or sketch data
    // folders
    File styleFolder = new File(winApp.dataPath(style));
    if (!styleFolder.exists())
        styleFolder = new File(winApp.sketchPath(style));
    if (styleFolder.exists()) {
        int fcount = 0;
        String[] names = new String[] { "centre.", "end_left.",
                "end_right.", "handle.", "handle_mouseover." };
        PImage[] images = new PImage[names.length];
        File[] fileList = styleFolder.listFiles();
        for (int i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {
            for (File f : fileList) {
                String filename = f.getName();
                if (filename.startsWith(names[i])) {
                    images[i] = winApp.loadImage(style + "/" + filename);
                    fcount++;
                }
            }
        }
        if (fcount != names.length)
            return false;

        centre = images[0];
        leftEnd = images[1];
        rightEnd = images[2];
        thumb = images[3];
        thumb_mouseover = images[4];
        return true;
    } else {
        try {/**made by Silverjust*/
            String[] names = new String[] { "centre.", "end_left.",
                    "end_right.", "handle.", "handle_mouseover." };
            PImage[] images = new PImage[names.length];
            for (int i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {
                String path = winApp
                        .getClass()
                        .getClassLoader()
                        .getResource(
                                "data/" + style + "/" + names[i] + "png")
                        .getFile();
                //System.out.println(path);
                images[i] = winApp.loadImage(path);
            }

            centre = images[0];
            leftEnd = images[1];
            rightEnd = images[2];
            thumb = images[3];
            thumb_mouseover = images[4];
            return true;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return false;
        }

    }
