How to save a yml thats included in the jar?

Well this question should be simple, but I couldn't seem like to find it on the forum.

Let's say I exported the jar with config.yml and another custom yml, say book.yml. How could I save this file if it doesn't exist in the plugin folder, like what saveDefaultConfig() does? And what should be the steps to read/save this custom yml file?

Thanks in advance.

 

You need to create it in the main directory of your project, then select it when exporting.

 

Code:java

plugin.saveResource("yourFile.yml", true);

o_0 that means if u export it into a jar, it will be automatically generated in the plugin folder?

 

No, it will not. You need to save the resource yourself.
