Question

I want to play a .wav file using java code which is in a jar file as resource. My code is look like this -

try {
     URL defaultSound = getClass().getResource("/images/ads/WindowsNavigationStart.wav");
     // getClass().getSy.getResource("/images/ads/WindowsNavigationStart.wav");
     File soundFile = new File(defaultSound.toURI());
     AudioInputStream audioInputStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile);
     Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
     clip.open(audioInputStream);
     clip.start( );
} catch (Exception ex) {
     ex.printStackTrace();
}

The file WindowsNavigationStart.wav is exist in one of my jar file. But getting the following exception -

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI is not hierarchical

Please give me a solution. Thank you all.

Have you tried:

InputStream is= getClass().getResourceAsStream("/images/ads/WindowsNavigationStart.wav");
AudioInputStream audioInputStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(is);

Essentially I do not think you can create a File out of a URI in the jar file. But you can pass the input stream directly.
