/**
 * This class performs the somewhat weird action of extracting a file from within the running JabRef jar,
 * and storing it to the given File. It may prove useful e.g. for extracting Endnote export/import filters which
 * are needed for full integration with the export filter in JabRef, so we can bundle these for the user even though
 * they are not used by JabRef directly.
