Utils to read resource text file to String (Java) [closed]

Answer 1

Guava has a "toString" method for reading a file into a String:

import com.google.common.base.Charsets;
import com.google.common.io.Files;

String content = Files.toString(new File("/home/x1/text.log"), Charsets.UTF_8);

This method does not require the file to be in the classpath (as in Jon Skeet previous answer).
