Running java jar outside eclipse requiring files in bin dir -

i'm developing using eclipse , i'm using api requires files in /bin directory (which path mean in java don't know). exported app jar , put required files in same directory jar file, when run app using terminal, app not able locate files. i'm unable understand paths issue.

i'm running app command:

java -jar app.jar 

i changed terminal directory directory contains jar file , tried with:

java -cp . -jar app.jar 

that didn't work.

edit: error application not able locate required files. in eclipse had put files in /bin dir in order api locate them.

here's full exception:

exception in thread "main" java.io.ioexception: failed find resource /cmu/arktweetnlp/50mpaths2     @ cmu.arktweetnlp.util.basicfileio.getresourcereader(basicfileio.java:233)     @ cmu.arktweetnlp.impl.features.wordclusterpaths.<init>(wordclusterpaths.java:29)     @ cmu.arktweetnlp.impl.features.featureextractor.initializefeatureextractors(featureextractor.java:146)     @ cmu.arktweetnlp.impl.features.featureextractor.<init>(featureextractor.java:30)     @ cmu.arktweetnlp.tagger.loadmodel(tagger.java:39)     @ com.postest.main(postest.java:22)

here's simple java code:

public static void main(string[] args) {         tagger tagger = new tagger();         string modelfilename = "model.20120919";          system.out.println( "loading model ..." );         try {             tagger.loadmodel(modelfilename);         } catch (ioexception e) {             e.printstacktrace();         }         system.out.println( "done loading model." );     } 

here's source code api:

public class wordclusterpaths implements featureextractorinterface {      /** todo should moved config somehow **/     public static string clusterresourcename = "/cmu/arktweetnlp/50mpaths2";      public static hashmap<string,string> wordtopath;      public wordclusterpaths() throws ioexception { //      log.info("loading clusters");          //read in paths file         bufferedreader breader = basicfileio.getresourcereader(clusterresourcename);         string[] splitline = new string[3];         string line=basicfileio.getline(breader);         wordtopath = new hashmap<string,string>();          while(line != null){             splitline = line.split("\\t");             wordtopath.put(splitline[1], splitline[0]);             line = basicfileio.getline(breader);         }            //      log.info("finished loading clusters");     } 

also check this:

public static bufferedreader getresourcereader(string resourcename) throws ioexception {         assert resourcename.startswith("/") : "absolute path needed resource";          inputstream stream = basicfileio.class.getresourceasstream(resourcename);         if (stream == null) throw new ioexception("failed find resource " + resourcename);         //read in paths file         bufferedreader breader = new bufferedreader(new inputstreamreader(             stream, charset.forname("utf-8")));         return breader;     } 

1. right click on project in eclipse. new -> source folder.
2. name source folder anything. e.g. cmu_src.
3. copy or drag entire cmu directory in cmu_src. make jar.

eclipse don't put resource/assets directories when create jar.
