Embed HTML in JAR with Eclipse

Question

I've already read this question, but still no luck.

I want to embed HTML pages with CSS files. In my project I have res folder, in .classpath I have <classpathentry kind="src" path="res"/> so that my files are embedded.

|-- src
|   `-- com
|       `-- pkg
|           `-- blahblahblah
|               `-- CTLiner.java
`-- res
    `-- html
        |-- index.html
        `-- style.css

CTLiner.java is main class file.

URL u = CTLiner.class.getResource("/html/index.html");
System.out.println(u.toURI().toString());
webView.showPage(u);

I use this code to load index.html . If I run this from Eclipse I get the following output

file:/home/user/workspace/CTLiner/bin/html/index.html

And

<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Works great. And when I export project as Runnable JAR, code outputs: rsrc:html/index.html And CSS file isn't found.

I believe that if I move index.html and style.css files up-tree (can I say so?) everything will work, but is there any other soltion?

Answer 1

I was using the Package required libraries into generated JAR , but I had to use Extract required libraries into generated JAR . I don't know why yet.

When I used the Package method, java used to look for style.css in the root of the JAR file, no matter where the HTML file was located.
