I have created an application using javafx. The main method reads from a file javafxmap.xml. below is the code

public static void main(String[] args) {
    CurrentFormParam.param.put("window", "start");
    ControllerFactory.populateControllerList("javafxmap.xml");
    launch();       
}

This is running well when i am running this using eclipse. The problem arises when i made a deployable jar out of it. It is trying to find this file from outside jar file. I mean if my jar is at location /home/kumar/myprog.jar then it looking for javafxmap.xml at /home/kumar/javafxmap.xml. But my xml file is inside jar itself.

Make sure that this file is included in the build path when you compile your JAR – Evan Bechtol May 05 '15 at 03:13

How are you loading the file `javafxmap.xml`? – ItachiUchiha May 05 '15 at 04:44
Objects in jars are not files, you cannot use file APIs to access them. Look at `Class.getResource` – greg-449 May 05 '15 at 07:01
