SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out when in Jar

Question

I'm trying to upload a file to Sourceforge and create a file release for it using the Collabnet API and SOAP in Java, in Eclipse, This works fine until I pack the class into a jar, add it to the build path, and try to execute it via an Ant Java task. Then I get the fault given below fi_sfSoap.upLoadFile hangs and then times out. It's not the size of the file and at first I thought it was the file paths but the file can be read by a file reader from inside the jar. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

File latest_release = new File(file_path);
    if(!latest_release.canRead()){
        System.out.println("File does not Exist");
}else{
        DataSource ds = new FileDataSource(latest_release);
        DataHandler dh = new DataHandler(ds);
    try{
            String file_id = fi_sfSoap.uploadFile(sessionId, dh);
            f_sfSoap.createFrsFile(sessionId, release_id, fileName, "application/zip", file_id);
        }catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }


    }

At a guess your file is too large to upload.

BTW !latest_release.canRead() does not unambiguously mean that the file doesn't exist. It could exist but be inaccessible due to access control.
