getting current directory where classes are stored

How do I obtain the directory where the classes are stored so I can put my images together with the classes.

tried ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("Star-Trek-full.gif"); but it doesn't work even though it's in the same directory as the classes. And preferrably os independent. Using java

You put your images in your classes directory and you do the following :

Code:

ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("image.gif"));

cool but in the end i decided to put it in the root directory which means it will be just
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("image.gif");
