JavaFx: Pathing and Getting audio files to work in my .jar

Question

I'm currently making a small game in JavFx and am trying to play a sound when objects collide currently this is my implementation:

if (paddle.getBoundsInParent().intersects(circle.getBoundsInParent())) {
        dx *= -1;
        Media sound = new Media(getClass().getResource("/Audio/Paddle.m4a").toString());
        MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(sound);
        mediaPlayer.play();
}

The audio files are stored in a source folder I made named "Audio" that is alongside the src and bin folders. My issue is that I cannot figure out the correct path for the audio files or how to extract them into a .jar using eclipse.

Answer 1

An easy way to solve this would be to put your media files in the default package.

Then switch the file path in your code to just the name of the file, so /audio/Paddle.mp4 becomes Paddle.mp4

Since you did not specify a path, java will look in the default package and find your media file.
