//================================================== ========================
public void doOpen(String name) {
URL url=getClass().getResource(name);
try {
URI uri=null;
uri=url.toURI();
File file =new File(uri);
openFile(file);}
catch (Exception ex) {}}

Wow.
That has to be a contender for the Least Amount Of Useful Information In An OP award...

To read "files" from a jar file you can use the getResource() method to get a URL to read. Or getResourceAsStream to get a stream.

i use this method and still got same problem


//================================================== ========================
public void doOpen(String name) {
URL url=getClass().getResource(name);
try {
URI uri=null;
uri=url.toURI();
File file =new File(uri);
openFile(file);}
catch (Exception ex) {}}

Please post the full text of the error messages.

What does the openFile() method do?

The resource is not a file. It is part of a jar file.

For debugging, print out the values of the variables: url and uri

no error it just don't open the pdf when the jar file is created....

waiting for help , thanks alot

Please explain the contents of the jar file and what you are are going to do when you are able to read the bytes of the pdf "file" that is in the jar file.
What program is trying to read the contents of the jar file? Is that program's class file in the jar file or outside of it?
If the program that is trying to read the jar file is not in the jar file, then you need to use the ZipFile or JarFile class to get to the contents of a jar file.

Were the URL and URI you printed from executing the program that is contained in the jar file?

i am uploading the whole project

I have no idea what you are trying to do. Why use a jar file? Why not put all the files into a zip file or a rar file?
What does "uploading" mean? I understand uploading to mean copying a file from a pc to a website. Is that it?

dear norm ,
the program is pdf reader ,,,
i want the pdf reader and the pdf file i want to read are in one file ,,, (jar) file ,,, i don't want the pdf alone and the jar file of the reader alone ,, so i want when i open the jar file ,,, it opens the reader file and the pdf file is loaded automatically ...the problem is it runs perfect when it is in netbeans ,, but when i create jar file ,,, it runs only the reader (without automatic loading ) the pdf ,,,, the whole project is here ....
a.rar
thanks alot ,,, waiting for your reply

If the 'pdf reader' is not a java class, then I have no idea how it can read a "file" that is in a jar file.
If it is a java class, what methods does it have for reading the bytes of the pdf file? The pdf reader needs to be able to read the bytes from an InputStream. The InputStream is returned by the getResourceAsStream method

i have uploaded the whole file ,, could you please take alook of it,if you are free, thanks alot
