Answer 1

The easiest solution here is to not put the file in the jar. It sounds like you are putting files in your jar so that your user only needs to worry about one file that contains everything related to that program. This is an artificial constraint and just add headaches.

There is a simple solution that still allows you to distribute just the jar file. At start up, attempt to read the file from the file system. If you don't find it, use default values that are encoded in you program. Then when changes are made, you can write it to the file system.
