Answer 1

The following allows me to play a sound in Eclipse project and an exported jar file:
- note the BufferedInputStream is used
- Note, inputStream is used instead of file.

In my main():

playAlarmSound();

in my class:

public static void playAlarmSound() {
ClassLoader classLoader = App.class.getClassLoader();
InputStream inputStream = classLoader.getResourceAsStream("alarmsound.wav");
try {
  Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
  AudioInputStream ais = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(inputStream));
  clip.open(ais);
  clip.start();
} catch (IOException | LineUnavailableException | UnsupportedAudioFileException e) {
  System.err.println("ERROR: Playing sound has failed");
  e.printStackTrace();
}
}
