WWBDLHD? Rather than attempting to rewrite the jar file, I would create an external config file, say in the folder holding the jar. For this to work, the app should look first for this external file and use the one in the jar as a default.

well, config file stores some passwords, and have in default folder is insecure, although that info is encripted, i prefer dont leave in the most obvious path, like user folder or current working directory

Unzipping a jar file isn't that difficult...
