How to add src files to jar? - java

I have built a Java application that reads data from a txt file located in the src folder. The path I have specified in the program is /src/data.txt and it works when I run it from netbeans. However when I tried to open the jar file, nothing opens. So I tried using javac from command line and this gives me the error that data.txt can't be found.
How do I make sure that the data file is included in the jar so it will work as a standalone?
Thanks.
EDIT1 : Here is a snippet of the code I use to load the file. And the path used is the aforementioned /scr/data.txt
public String [] openFile() throws IOException {
FileReader fr = new FileReader(this.path);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
String []text = new String[this.numberoflines];
for(int i=0;i<this.numberoflines;++i)
{
text[i]=br.readLine();
}
br.close();
return text;
}
EDIT2 : Well here is the tvf output:
Error: Could not find or load main class jar

You can manually inspect, place and remove the file in the jar archive using a rar extractor like winrar : Then access per using Class.getResourceAsStream(String);
InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/src/data.txt");
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null){
//Perform operations
}
br.close();
isr.close();
is.close();

I am new to java can anyone explain to me how this code works in this example
specially the LOOP portion
import java.util.*;
import static java.lang.System.out;
class FullMoons {
static int DAY_IM = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
public static void main(String [] args) {
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.set(2004,0,7,15,40);
long day1 = c.getTimeInMillis();
for (int x = 0; x < 60; x++) {
day1 += (DAY_IM * 29.52);
c.setTimeInMillis(day1);
out.println(String.format("full moon on %tc", c));
}
}
}
output is
full moon on Fri Feb 06 04:06:35 MST 2004
full moon on Sat Mar 06 16:38:23 MST 2004
full moon on Mon Apr 05 06:07:11 MDT 2004
an answer should be displayed in first three loops why it takes entire 60 runnings
What is the answer and why it should be displayed in first 3 loops?
This code creates Calendar and then added to the first full moon date the duration of lunar month (about 29.52 days).
The cycle body runs 60 times, because condition x < 60 and x++ increase x by 1.
//increase number of milliseconds
day1 += (DAY_IM * 29.52);
//set increased number to Calendar c
c.setTimeInMillis(day1);
//create formatted string
String s = String.format("full moon on %tc", c);
//output the string
out.println(s);
read more about how String.format() works in official documentation
This code will run 60 times throughout the Loop..
I realized my mistake which is iam only going by theory rather than doing practical...so guys this is lesson, and iam posting the result so that this question dosent create any unnecessary confusion further.

Java Calendar bug?

After a lot of debugging I narrowed my problem to the following snippet:
public static void calendarBug() {
for (int i=0 ; i<6 ; i++) {
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.clear();
c.set(2015, 2, 27, i, 0);
System.out.println(c.getTime());
}
}
Running this gives the following output:
Fri Mar 27 00:00:00 IST 2015
Fri Mar 27 01:00:00 IST 2015
Fri Mar 27 03:00:00 IDT 2015
Fri Mar 27 03:00:00 IDT 2015
Fri Mar 27 04:00:00 IDT 2015
Fri Mar 27 05:00:00 IDT 2015
Does anyone know why does c.set(2015,2,27,2,0) returns 3AM instead of 2AM?
Think about that your are at time just at DST time, It moves forward one hour or moves back one hour without living this time portion.
So It is not bug, it is feature.
When you change the timezone which does not use DST (lets say Canada/East-Saskatchewan), you will see what you have expected.
Here is an example.
public static void calendarBug() {
for (int i=0 ; i<6 ; i++) {
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Canada/East-Saskatchewan"));
c.clear();
c.set(2015, 2, 27, i, 0);
System.out.println(c.getTime());
}
}
Fri Mar 27 08:00:00 EET 2015
Fri Mar 27 09:00:00 EET 2015
Fri Mar 27 10:00:00 EET 2015
Fri Mar 27 11:00:00 EET 2015
Fri Mar 27 12:00:00 EET 2015
Fri Mar 27 13:00:00 EET 2015
That is most likely a DST switchover for your timezone.
Mar 27 is the last Friday of March in 2015. This is the day when the DST switchover takes place in the Israel, Jordan, Syria, the West Bank etc.

Subtracting dates in Java. Daylight Savings Time Changes

The problem is that the subtraction of the two dates leaves me double identical value.
From : Thu Nov 29 00:00:00 CET 2012
Value 121: To: Sat Mar 30 00:00:00 CET 2013
Value 122: To: Sun Mar 31 00:00:00 CET 2013
Value 122: To: Mon Apr 01 00:00:00 CEST 2013
Value 123: To: Tue Apr 02 00:00:00 CEST 2013
Long today = (To.getTime() - From.getTime()) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);
Is it possible to somehow avoid that logically? (sorry for English)

Export .jar with .txt as resource won't work

I have a problem concerning the .jar Export. I have to include a .txt file into my jar from where I read words into a list. I used this to realize(in eclipse Run + Debug mode it works well):
File file = new File(Worte.class.getClassLoader().getResource("resource/wortliste.txt").getFile());
Now, if I export it into a JAR file, the JAR file is executable as it should, and it contains the list.txt and .java files in resource (as it should because it's homework ;-) ), but the program behaves like there was no file. I have the same problem when i use getResourceAsStream(). Does anybody know why this won't work? I don't understand that, because i did this 2 weeks ago with another code, and it worked o_O.
What i have tried:
deleting the Project and import into a new one
like 1, but into a new workspace
My System is a Windows 7 x64 PC, Eclipse Juno and JRE7.
Options I use for export:
[] Export generated class files and resources
[x] export all output folders...
[x] export java source files...
[] export refactorings
[x] compress the contents...
[x] add directory entries
[x] overwrite existing files without warning

You can't use java.io.File to get the contents of a file inside of a jar. Try running the following snippet,
public class TestGetResource
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
URL url = TestGetResource.class.getResource("/resource/wortliste.txt");
System.out.println("URL: " + url);
File f = new File(url.getFile());
System.out.println("File: " + f);
System.out.println("File exists: " + f.exists());
try {
FileReader reader = new FileReader(f);
reader.read();
} catch (FileNotFoundException notFoundEx) {
System.out.println("Caught FileNotFoundException: " + notFoundEx.getMessage());
}
}
}
You should see something similar to this,
URL: jar:file:/C:/some/path/my.jar!/resource/wortliste.txt
File: file:\C:\some\path\my.jar!\resource\wortliste.txt
File exists: false
Caught FileNotFoundException: file:\C:\some\path\my.jar!\resource\wortliste.txt (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)
Instead, use Class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(String) to get an InputStream for reading the file. If you still need to read the contents as a File, you could stream the contents out to a temp file.
Try this:
URL url = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("resource/list.txt");
File file = new File(url.getFile());

Slick cannot load the image?

So I'm following thenewboston's tutorials on Slick 2D. I'm loading the Image exactly as he said:
private org.newdawn.slick.Image playNow;
...
public void init(GameContainer gc, StateBasedGame sbg) throws SlickException {
...
playNow = new org.newdawn.slick.Image("res/playNow.png");
This is my Eclipse project tree:

The tutorial is located here
I am doing this exactly as the tutorial said, and it works for him in the video. Thanks in advance :)
No your problem is that the "res" folder is in the same folder as the "src" file is in!
move your "res" folder containing all of your pictures INTO the "src/net.sourceforge.whowant/" folder/package in your program.
In your program you will load it by using
playNow = new org.newdawn.slick.Image("res/playNow.png");
Hope this helps! :)
