1) You can use getResource() within your code to find a properties file that is included in your jar. Check out Class.getResource() and Classloader.getResource().
2) The longer way around is to locate the jar and extract the resource manually : http://www.javaworld.com/javatips/jw-javatip49.html ~akb | -----Original Message----- | From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | Behalf Of Harold Meder | Sent: Sunday, December 14, 2003 7:53 PM | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Subject: [Juglist] Where is that Properties File | | | I have defined a properties file for my java application.

My application can no longer find the properties file. | Of course, if I copy my properties file into an appropriate | folder structure in a folder listed in my class path, it works again. | | I do not want to have to deploy my application with my properties | file outside the jar file. Not this one anyway. | | How can I get my application to find my properties file inside of | the jar file? What is the proper what to deploy properties files | with your application? | | Thank you, | Harold Meder. | | | | _______________________________________________ | Juglist mailing list | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://trijug.org/mailman/listinfo/juglist_trijug.org _______________________________________________ Juglist mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://trijug.org/mailman/listinfo/juglist_trijug.org
