Why is the properties file inside the JAR ? It should be located outside the jar.
You can do this with winzip or winrar. Are you looking for a programmatic solution ?

Not while you are executing code from that JAR; the file system (at least Windows) locks the file so you can't modify it anymore. That's why using resources is not the way to go when you need to write to it. Use a file in the folder returned by System.getProperty("user.home") instead.
