Well, first off, I suggest using the java.io package for that instead. java.nio is specific to Java 7. What are you trying to accomplish?

It's for a mod installer I'm making. What this part does is, it checks if the file is already there, and if not it copies it from the downloaded folder into the .minecraft

java.io.File has .exists() and .createNewFile() methods. Are the files you're copying text files? Or are they Binary as well?

They would copy any type of file, mostly image and sound files though

While it's "easier" to do it with the java.nio classes (because there's a method for it I think), I still recommend using the java.io classes, as you can find the most help with those ones. http://examples.javacodegeeks.com/core-java/io/copy-binary-file-with-streams/ This shouldn't be too hard to understand :)

It's simply reading from one place and writing it somewhere else. Modify as needed of course

Thank you!

Now it's giving me a FileNotFoundException xD Even though the initial file is in the same directory as the project

By project do you mean the Eclipse project?

That is correct

Try checking the value of System.getProperty("user.dir")

That should display the current directory of the jar, or in this case the project folder

So should I set that to the jar directory? I'm confused lol

Would it be something like

System.getProperty("user.dir") = "helloworld.png"; ?

No, system properties are already set. Print the value of that property to console to see what it is. Hopefully it's the absolute path of your project folder.

Oh so I'm just using it to check? Alright
