Java - How do I copy a java aplication jar file?
Is it possible to copy a jar file from which I'm running my application?
How do I find a source to this jar file?
Each user can save my application's jar file in a different folder.

This sounds like an XY problem. Why would you want to have several copies of the program? If you want to allow the user to change some data or configuration files, the solution is to save those files, not the entire program.

I can answer one part of your question: how do you find the location of your JAR at runtime:
File jarDir = new File(ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResource(".").getPath());
locationOfJar = jarDir.getAbsolutePath();
This will give you the path to the folder the Jar is currently in as a String.

What IDE or Compiler are you using? If you are using Eclipse you should find where your saves go and check your package, there you'll find the .jar and the .java forms of your application.
