Call and create a .yml in the .jar

Hey
So I started to learn to code yesterday I have a Configuration.java file:

Code:java

package fr.minepvp.iteush;
 
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
 
import org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration;
import org.bukkit.configuration.file.YamlConfiguration;
 
public class Configuration{
 
    public Configuration(){
 
            File messagesFile =new File("plugins/MineRPG/","messages.yml");
            FileConfiguration messages = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(messagesFile);
            if(messagesFile.exists()){
            } else {
            messages.set("system.prefix", "[MinePVP]");
            messages.set("system.player-cmd", "Seul un joueur peut lancer cette commande.");
            messages.set("chat.join", "se connecte sur MineRPG !");
            messages.set("chat.leave", "vient de se déconnecter.");
            try{
                  messages.save(messagesFile);
                } catch(IOException e) {
                  // Afficher les erreurs
                  e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
    }   
 
}
 

Instead of :

Code:java

            messages.set("system.prefix", "[MinePVP]");
            messages.set("system.player-cmd", "Seul un joueur peut lancer cette commande.");
            messages.set("chat.join", "se connecte sur MineRPG !");
            messages.set("chat.leave", "vient de se déconnecter.");

I would like to call in the .jar a file I create in the project (messages.yml) like the default /plugins/MineRPG/message.yml if there are not already one.

Do you know how I can do that please ?
Thanks in advance

 

You mean create a message.yml file along with your jar?

 

Yes a messages.yml I had already create in the project

 

iteush i can tell you how you can access a yml file in a jar while running the jar if this is what you want to know. how to create one i can only give you the pseudocode, i ve never created a file into the jar i am running :O but should be possible

 

Try this:

Code:java

 
public static File pluginFolder, configFile;
public static FileConfiguration msg;
 
//this should be called in onEnable() method
try {
   pluginFolder = getDataFolder();
   configFile = new File(pluginFolder, "messages.yml");
   msg = new YamlConfiguration();
   if(!pluginFolder.exists()) {
  pluginFolder.mkdir();
   }
   if(!configFile.exists()){
    configFile.createNewFile();
     }
     msg.load(configFile);
    } catch (Exception e) {
}
