I have spent hours and hours searching for the answer and I just can't figure it out, I am trying to copy my resources folder which contains all the images and data files for my game I am working on out of the running jar and into E:/Program Files/mtd/ It works fine when I run it out of eclipse, but when I export the jar and try it, I get NoSuchFileException
`JAR
Installing...
file:///C:/Users/Cam/Desktop/mtd.jar/resources to file:///E:/Program%20Files/mtd
/resources

This is the code I am using:
if (!pfFolder.exists()) {
pfFolder.mkdir();
try {
URL url = getClass().getResource("/resources/");
URI uri = null;
if (url.getProtocol().equals("jar")) {
System.out.println("JAR");
JarURLConnection connect = (JarURLConnection) url.openConnection();
uri = new URI(connect.getJarFileURL().toURI().toString() + "/resources/");
} else if (url.getProtocol().equals("file")) {
System.out.println("FILE");
uri = url.toURI();
}
final Path src = Paths.get(uri);
final Path tar = Paths.get(System.getenv("ProgramFiles") + "/mtd/resources/");
System.out.println("Installing...");
System.out.println(src.toUri() + " to " + tar.toUri());
Files.walkFileTree(src, new SimpleFileVisitor<Path>() {
public FileVisitResult visitFile( Path file, BasicFileAttributes attrs ) throws IOException {
return copy(file);
}
public FileVisitResult preVisitDirectory( Path dir, BasicFileAttributes attrs ) throws IOException {
return copy(dir);
}
private FileVisitResult copy( Path fileOrDir ) throws IOException {
System.out.println("Copying " + fileOrDir.toUri() + " to " + tar.resolve( src.relativize( fileOrDir ) ).toUri());
Files.copy( fileOrDir, tar.resolve( src.relativize( fileOrDir ) ) );
return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
}
});
System.out.println("Done!");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
I FINALLY FOUND THE ANSWER I don't want to type out a big, long explanation but for anyone looking for the solution, here it is
`
//on startup
installDir("");
for (int i = 0; i < toInstall.size(); i++) {
File f = toInstall.get(i);
String deepPath = f.getPath().replace(f.getPath().substring(0, f.getPath().lastIndexOf("resources") + "resources".length() + 1), "");
System.out.println(deepPath);
System.out.println("INSTALLING: " + deepPath);
installDir(deepPath);
System.out.println("INDEX: " + i);
}
public void installDir(String path) {
System.out.println(path);
final URL url = getClass().getResource("/resources/" + path);
if (url != null) {
try {
final File apps = new File(url.toURI());
for (File app : apps.listFiles()) {
System.out.println(app);
System.out.println("copying..." + app.getPath() + " to " + pfFolder.getPath());
String deepPath = app.getPath().replace(app.getPath().substring(0, app.getPath().lastIndexOf("resources") + "resources".length() + 1), "");
System.out.println(deepPath);
try {
File f = new File(resources.getPath() + "/" + deepPath);
if (getExtention(app) != null) {
FileOutputStream resourceOS = new FileOutputStream(f);
byte[] byteArray = new byte[1024];
int i;
InputStream classIS = getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("resources/" + deepPath);
//While the input stream has bytes
while ((i = classIS.read(byteArray)) > 0)
{
//Write the bytes to the output stream
resourceOS.write(byteArray, 0, i);
}
//Close streams to prevent errors
classIS.close();
resourceOS.close();
} else {
System.out.println("new dir: " + f.getPath() + " (" + toInstall.size() + ")");
f.mkdir();
toInstall.add(f);
System.out.println(toInstall.size());
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
} catch (URISyntaxException ex) {
// never happens
}
}
}`
