Cannot load properties file from resources directory

Question

I imported a project from a Git repository and added Maven nature to it in Eclipse  In the resources folder  I added a configuration file called myconf properties  Now  whenever I try to open this file from my Java code  I get FileNotFoundException  The file is also present in the target classes folder generated after maven compiles the project   Can anyone tell me what can be the problem  My Java code that tries to load this file is   props load new FileInputStream  myconf properties       where props is a Properties object   Can anyone give me some hints on how to solve this issue

I believe running from Eclipse  if you re using  myconf properties  as the relative path  You file structure should look somehting like this  ProjectRoot          src          bin          myconf properties   Eclipse will look for the the file in the project root dir if no other dirs are specified in the file path

I think you need to put it under src main resources and load it as follows    props load new FileInputStream  src main resources myconf properties       The way you are trying to load it will first check in base folder of your project  If it is in target classes and you want to load it from there do the following   props load new FileInputStream  target classes myconf properties

If the file is placed under target classes after compiling  then it is already in a directory that is part of the build path  The directory src main resources is the Maven default directory for such resources  and it is automatically placed to the build path by the Eclipse Maven plugin  M2E   So  there is no need to move your properties file   The other topic is  how to retrieve such resources  Resources in the build path are automatically in the class path of the running Java program  Considering this  you should always load such resources with a class loader  Example code   String resourceName    myconf properties      could also be a constant ClassLoader loader   Thread currentThread   getContextClassLoader    Properties props   new Properties    try InputStream resourceStream   loader getResourceAsStream resourceName         props load resourceStream        use props here
