how can I play a .wav file in an exported jar file?

I want to create a game and it should include music which is playing in the background. The music file is a .wav file in a Source Folder.

How can I play music in an executable jar file with my code in the main method:

public class PlayMusic {
    
    public static void main(String[] args) throws LineUnavailableException, IOException, UnsupportedAudioFileException, InterruptedException {

            File file = new File("MusicPlayer/SnakeOST.wav"); 

            AudioInputStream audioStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(file); 

            Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip(); 
            clip.open(audioStream); 
                
            clip.start();
            clip.loop(Clip.LOOP_CONTINUOUSLY) ; 
    }
}

This code does work in Eclipse, but after exporting the code there's music missing in the .jar file.

your problem is, that your path is looking for a folder called MusicPlayer within your src folder. You want to use an absolute Path like:

/MusicPlayer/SnakeOST.wav

with this, the Path will begin at the root of the jar, then look for the folder called "MusicPlayer"

EDIT: You need a reference to your class, like:

App.class.getResourceAsStream("/model/test.png")

or

App.class.getResource("/model/test.png")
