Project Won't Build Properly Please Help

Hi,

I use Apache Netbeans IDE to write in java. I have completed my project. I have a second source folder called "res" which stores all the graphics for my game, and have added it to the Source Package Folders in the properties of my game. When I run my game in the IDE, everything works properly. However, when I build it and run the Executable JAR File all that comes up is a blank JFrame. I don't understand why it is working in the IDE but not from the JAR File. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, JJAction

Try adding some debug statements to see if it is because it cant load the resources or other issues. I last used java in 2005 so I don't think I can help with specifics. Output the debug statements to screen, a file or other place where you can see them. 

Thanks for the help!
