Copying jar files?

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

I want to copy my jar file to another location… How do i do that?

#2

Seriously, WHAT?!!?!!???!@!@!

You need to give more information, how do you want to do it? Are you using a build tool or something?

#3

Make a jar that writes a batch file to the system, in that batch file, have your java program write:

 XCOPY currentjar.jar C:/new/location

Then to run that batch file from the java code, do this

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:/path/to/batch");

Edit: This is off the top of my head and may or may not work

You should probably use some kind of installation tool that a user would run and would put files places for you, but I am not very familiar with them so maybe someone else could suggest one.

Also, you can get the location of your jar file by doing this

YourClassName.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().toURI().getPath()
