I've been able to use configuration files with jars for another application
that I have done. I have not tried many different things, but I've found
that if I put the config file in the root directory of the jar and then
create a File object with the name of the config file, then everything seems
to work OK.
my jar structure was
config.properties
com/mycompany/app/Class1
com/mycompany/app/Class2
The code in say, Class1 that read the properties file is
File f = new File("config.properties");
java.util.Properties prop = new java.util.Properties();
prop.load(new FileInputStream(f));
Hope this helps,
Joel
