FileNotFoundException - Making my project it's own package

Let me start by saying i'm new to java. I'm working on a small little project that my mentor and I thought up to practice a wide varitey of skills that I have been learning and force me to learn some new ones. I have hit a road block and was wondering if someone could give a hand.

What the project does is loads a list of companys from a CSV file. For each line ( company) it load i searches another CSV file to find the corisponding locations for that company. Then for each location it load the departments for that location... and again it load the employees for that department.... Long story short i'm working with 4 CSV files.

I have this project working... But now i want to make the project it's own package. I have done this and created a JAR file with a manifest.txt. I have also made a compile.cmd and run.cmd. Everything is working fine except now I have NO IDEA how to tell my project where to find these CSV files that are located in the jar but NOT in the same directory as my classes
