I'm sorry you take it as hostility and bashing. We are all trying to
tell you that what you are trying to do is a really bad way to do it. I
don't understand your resistance to doing it the way that is
universally accepted as the standard way to bundle resources with a
Java app.

I do understand your argument that it's a pain to construct a JAR to
use every time; however, Ant eliminates this inconvenience.
Ant is trivial to use, and has a very short learning curve. When you
set up an Ant buildfile, you can have it automagically build your JAR
file for you.

As I said in an earlier post, why are you opposed to learning how to
use Ant?
