JCheckbox: add icon from jar not a directory to label?

Question

I know it's possible to use HTML but what if you are loading the icon image from a package instead of a directory?

How would you go about adding icon to a jcheckbox's label?

I show various ways in my answer to "Loading images from jars for Swing HTML". But using an explicit URL (obtained from Class.getResource(String)) should work just fine as the src attribute of the img element.

@mKorbel It was interesting, but I think yours is the better answer on this thread. :) – Andrew Thompson Feb 22 '12 at 17:58
