Java write .txt file in resource folder

Question

I am trying to write a .txt file in a resource folder but it doesn\'t write anything. I am able to read the same .txt file by doing:

Scanner scanner = null;         


        

Answer 1

You can't write something in to a resource, assume that you packed your resource as a jar. Jar is only read only. You can't update that. Either you can extract the jar and edit the contents.

You can try Preferences as an alternative
