including source files in runnable jar file

Question

I have to create the installer with runnable jar file ,when the jar file will run it has to copy the files on some directories. I have included few folders in the java project a

Answer 1

you have to add the required folder to the build path using following step:

click project -> properties -> Build Path -> Source -> Add Folder

and then use class.getResourceAsStream() to read it instead of File and FileReader.

Hope it works !! :)
