Hi guys.
I'm working on a christmas present for my dad, it's a program that installs 8 Black Keys songs on his computer. I'm having some trouble with it though. I can't figure out how to get the files out of the jar file. I used to access them with \\src\\package\\filename.fileending and had no problem but it's not working for some reason now. I'm using the java.nio package to copy the files, and this is my code. (I got the ExportResource method from this StackOverflow question)

JLabel label1 = new JLabel("Choose what folder to put the music in");
public InstallerWindow(Engine engine){
cl = new CardLayout();
panel = new JPanel();
panel.setLayout(cl);
filePath = new JTextField("C:\\Users\\Aguilera\\Music");
install = new JButton("Install Music");
next = new JButton("Next");
install.setActionCommand("install");
next.setActionCommand("next");
filePathValidator = new JLabel("Valid");
panel1 = new JPanel();
panel2 = new JPanel();
panel1.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panel1, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
panel1.add(new JLabel("Happy Birthday Pops!"));
panel1.add(new JLabel("This program will install some Black Keys music."));
panel1.add(next);
panel2.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();
c.gridx = 0;
c.gridy = 0;
panel2.add(label1 ,c);
c.gridy = 1;

panel2.add(filePath, c);
c.gridx = 1;
c.ipadx = 0;
panel2.add(filePathValidator, c);
c.gridy = 2;
c.gridx = 0;
panel2.add(install, c);
panel.add(panel1, "InfoPanel");
panel.add(panel2, "InstallPanel");
next.addActionListener(engine);
install.addActionListener(engine);
this.setContentPane(panel);
}

The latest error is that it's copying just the first song to the wrong location (the location of the program). The program is on a USB drive.
