Question

i have created a java application which uses data from its config folder and , it also uses third party jar files those are located in lib folder, could anyone tell me how to create jar file for this project with the content stored in config file and lib folder.

i tried creating jar using eclipse export functionality. when i run this jar file, it says it can not find the third party libraries that i have used for this project and configuration file.

thanks in advance for any help

You can create a Runnable JAR in Eclipse 3.4+ in the Export wizard selection dialog (right click on a project and go to Export…) using an existing launch configuration which will incorporate the libraries or repack them. Config files should be readable from the same directory as the runnable jar is located. If you need any help with loading these in, just ask 🙂
