Hi Wilhelm,

a rough guess, stealing code from here and there...

If you have a plugin named MyPlugin, and a directory 'images' in its
.jar file, you can use
   URL imageURL = MyPlugin.class.getResource("images/myImage.png");

Then use the ImageJ URLOpener class or get a BufferedImage with
javax.imageio.ImageIO:
   BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(url);
