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...
