Hi

I'm developing an Eclipse product. In my plugin i have added an executable file (.exe) which i need to execute. When i launch the product from the eclipse, the file is referenced using the path of the executable on my file system and all went ok.

When i export the product the plugin is packaged in a jar file which contains the executable file too. When it references the file the path is something like :

$path_to_the_plugin_jar!/$path_to_exe_file_inside_the_jar

Using this path to launch a new Process Thrown an exception.

How can i refer to a file inside a jar?How could i execute the file?

Can i extract the file when i export the product with eclipse?

thanks
