There are two possibilities:

1. compile it into the binary
Add the files into a jar and add that jar to the compilation project. It 
will be included into the binary.

2. keep it outside of the binary
Just don't compile it into the binary and put it in the correct path...

Both ways work exactly as using a Java JRE itself. The only thing to 
remember is that you have to put the ressources into a jar when you wish 
to compile them into a binary.
