First you have to get the directory in which the jar file is located: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/320542/how-to-get-the-path-of-a-running-jar-file[^]
If you have the directory then loading/processing a file in it is straightforward.

Good info, +5... I will likely use it myself.

Thank you! I used it only once and it worked perfectly. According to some it doesn't work in some cases, I guess those cases are some special scenarios where you are using the jar from an appserver or something similar. Commandline jar launching should work without problems.
