Java NIO file path issue

Question

I used the following code to get the path

Path errorFilePath = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath(errorFile);

When I try to move

Answer 1

Depending on how are you going to use the Path object, you may be able to avoid using Path at all:

// works with normal files but on a deployed JAR gives "java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char <:> "
URL urlIcon = MyGui.class.getResource("myIcon.png");
Path pathIcon = new File(urlIcon.getPath()).toPath();
byte bytesIcon[] = Files.readAllBytes(pathIcon);


// works with normal files and with files inside JAR:
InputStream in = MyGui.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("myIcon.png");
byte bytesIcon[] = new byte[5000];
in.read(bytesIcon);
