How is this a weird issue? URL != file. Just because some URLs can be
converted to valid files doesn't mean all can. If you need the file
contents use getResourceStream. If you need information on the file,
use the java.util.zip package

Hi,
I am having an issue with maven and getting a file from within my
executable jar project.
I have the following code in my main
URL url = this.getClass().getResource("/comma.txt");
File commaFile = new File(url.getFile());
The issue is that the url that is found when executing the jar has an
exclamation mark in it. ie
/home/jeffxor/workspace/cyrus/target/cyrus-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar!/
comma.txt
you will notice it after the jar file name. Obviously when I then try
to get a file I get FileNotFoundException.
I have used this code on other machine and have had no issue. I am
using Ubuntu and maven 2.0.8 and java 1.6., I have searched the
internet but have got no results and I am out of ideas.
Any help would be great.
