Play an audio file from a JAR file

To play a sound from a JAR file (the .AU file in the JAR must be accessible via the CLASSPATH of course!) :


import java.io.*;

import java.net.*;



import sun.audio.*;



public class AppAudio {

  public static void main(String args[]) throws Throwable {

    InputStream in = AppAudio.class.getResourceAsStream(args[0]);

    AudioStream as = new AudioStream(in);

    AudioPlayer.player.start(as);

    Thread.sleep(5000);

  }

}
