Java getResourceAsStream static workaround. Correct?

I was using this code to get my resources: 

 this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("Image.png");

it worked fine up until the point where I had to implement it in a static method:

 public class UserDisplay {

 public static void PlayerWon(final Display display, String player, final Composite WinCompo){

I could not use the this keyword in static context so I used the object I previously initialized:

public class UserDisplay {

 public static void PlayerWon(final Display display, String player, final Composite WinCompo){

    final AudioLoop WinLoop = new AudioLoop("Sound.wav");

    final Image WinBanner = new Image(display, WinLoop.getClass().getResourceAsStream("Image.png"));

It works fine, but here is my Question:

Is this a legitimate workaround? If not, what should I have done?

Note: I apologize for the poor Title.

Use a class literal instead. It's not clear what AudioLoop is in this case, but unless it's a class in your own library, that's probably not what you want. I suspect you want something like:

new Image(display, UserDisplay.class.getResourceAsStream("Image.png"))

If you do want to get a resource relative to the AudioLoop class, use:

new Image(display, AudioLoop.class.getResourceAsStream("Image.png"))

Also note that your method and variable names don't currently comply with Java naming conventions, where both would normally be camelCased.
