title: How can I create a JAR file with PDF, Excel, and db files inside it, and how can i reach those?
body: <p>I have developed an application that need to have PDF files, database and Excel files inside. I now want to make a JAR file of my progam so that others can use it. When the program starts, it creates a folder on the desktop that contains the PDF, Excel, and db files. The user can then, if necessary, modify the Excel file manually.</p>
  
  <p>Right now, I can create a folder with the files and put it on the desktop, but only in NetBeans. I can not do that with the jar file of my program.</p>
  
  <p>I need to know how I can reach these files and if I can possibly "pack in" these files into a jar file? </p>
  
  <p>I use Java and NetBeans. The operating system is Windows</p>
