No, you didn't.  Apparently you are trying to include some unwanted files more 
than once.

One does not normally include source in a JAR, or at least not in the 
deployment JAR.  Why do you wish to do so?

What is "Resource /FightGame"?

What did you set for it to try to include that?

Three times?

What else have you set to cause multiple attempts to write to the JAR?

Why are you including source?

And nowhere did he tell you to include that folder in the JAR.  You made that 
part up.  Don't blame him for your behavior.

It's not by including the "src" directory, it's by copying resources into the 
build directory, which Eclipse does automatically.  When resrources are in the 
designated source folders, Eclipse builds them into the JAR.

Questions should be phrased as interrogatives.

AFAIK it's enough to put the resource in the "src" folder tree, and Eclipse 
copies it.  I would have to check the Eclipse documentation for the details.

That doesn't answer my question.  I asked why you wish to include the "src" 
directoy and you answered why you included specific image files.  Including 
the files makes perfect sense.

No.  The Eclipse documentation explains how to set up a project.

RTFM.

How do you know what it does?  You think the same program is called by the 
double-click as by Eclipse's action, but what is your evidence?

You draw a conclusion without looking at all the facts.

Appearing then disappearing when you double-click the JAR is either a failure 
to associate the .jar extension with "java -jar" or a problem internal to the JAR.
