I am not using the maven plugin but just the Command Line approach document at 
http://one-jar.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=getting-started&file=quickstart 
and I also cannot load my log4j.xml from within the One Jar.

I get:

log4j:ERROR Could not parse url 
[jar:file:/AppLink.jar!/main/StubMsgSvc.jar!/log4j.xml].
java.io.FileNotFoundException: \FOpenLink.jar (The system cannot find the file 
specified) .....

The only non-announcement post to this project's Google Group was about this 
issue, too:

https://groups.google.com/group/onejar/browse_thread/thread/cfc13effd6bfb9ef
>>>>>

I have a maven build using one-jar to create an executable test JAR. 
The JAR runs just fine, but during the execution of my main class I 
need to load my TestNG xml from the root of the JAR, but this fails. 
This mechanism works with an executable zip on another project. I 
would prefer to use one-jar so that I don't have to manually manage 
the dependencies. 
I've confirmed that files exist in the myProject.jar and the paths 
are: 
    /com/address/MyMain 
    /myFile.xml 
I added the following to the MyMain class: 
    ... 
    System.out.println("This is the path: " + 
MyMain.class.getClassLoader().getResource("myFile.xml").toString()); 
    ArrayList<String> suites = new ArrayList<String>(); 
    String xmlPath = 
MyMain.class.getClassLoader().getResource("myFile.xml").toString(); 
    suites.add(xmlPath) 
    testng.setTestSuites(suites); 
    ... 
When I run the JAR I get this as an output: 
    This is the path: jar:file:/myProject.one-jar.jar!/main/ 
myProject.jar!/myFile.xml 
    java.io.FileNotFoundException: jar:file:/myProject.one-jar.jar!/ 
main/myProject.jar!/myFile.xml (No such file or directory) 
I tried other paths but cannot find one that works. 
Any idea how I can get the path for the xml file?

You may have to use the One-Jar-Expand mechanism (documented at 
http://one-jar.sourceforge.net) to expand the XML file into the filesystem 
(somewhere), then load it from there as a File resource.

Best guess as to cause: something in testng is not using a URL which delegates 
its handlers, hence it cannot understand the "jar" protocol.

The root-cause of this issue is that Jar-URLs don't survive being converted to 
a String and then back to a URL again. Somewhere there's a class that needs an 
actual reference to the resource (Jar) and that reference is likely not 
populated after being constructed back from a String again....

Any direction on this? I'm getting the same issue and put the following into my 
maven configuration. It put log4j.xml in the Manifest but I'm not getting any 
different reaction.

<manifestEntries>
<One-Jar-Expand>log4j.xml</One-Jar-Expand>
</manifestEntries>
