Java Forum / General / September 2007copying files from jar file to a filesystem
I have a jar file that contains directories and files. I need to copy those directories and files to specified locations on a UNIX and Windows file system. So directory A in the jar will be copied to C:/ Temp on Windows and /tmp in Unix. Is there any sample code that will get me started? I guess I should use some sort of config file to specify the source and destination directories. The jar file has a structure like A/ A/file1.txt A/file2.txt B/ B/file3.txt B/file3.txt > So directory A in the jar will be copied to C:/ >Temp on Windows and /tmp in Unix.

I looked at FetchZips but I don't think it will meet my needs. I could package my directories/files in a zip instead of a jar but I need to be able to copy certain directories to one location and other files to another location based on the file/ directory name. Are there other things I can try?

To expand on what I need the code to do: For each directory or file in the archive, I need to process it. For example, the file B/file3.txt would need to be copied to /var/tmp/ file.txt on a Unix machine and C:\Temp\LocalDir on a windows machine. The entire directory A would need to be copied to /etc/ on Unix and C: \Program Files\MyDir on Windows >For each directory or file in the archive, I need to process it. Sounds like you need to read up on File.list and FilenameFilters.

Write the code to do it. It is trivial. > Are there other things I can try? Read the API documentation. >Thanks for the reply. I looked at FetchZips but I don't think it will >meet my needs.
