    how i should load it when run time
    Can you explain your problem?
    Code executed from a jar should work the same as when executed from files in a folder.
    The exception is you need to treat files as resources and use the classloader's getResource methods instead of File reading classes.

    You execute the code in a properly constructed jar file by the command: java -jar <THEJARFILENAME>.jar
    The jar command is used to create a jar file.
