Hi, thanks for the reply. But my problem is that the intstructions say generate an executable jar 'containing the programs' called runme.jar. To me this would suggets it whould contain only the .class files and nothing else.
This jar is then included in another jar (let's say project.jar) which has a docs directory containing userguide.txt So the examiner will extract the runme.jar from from project.jar.
Can run it with
java -jar runme.jar alone
But the usrguide.txt is still in the project.ar in a docs directory! Would it be safe for me to assume this txt file will be placed by the examiner in the current working directory?
I'd hate to fail the assigment before the client has even launched!!
thanks
T.
