Where to put a textfile I want to use in eclipse?

Question

I need to read a text file when I start my program. I\'m using eclipse and started a new java project. In my project folder I got the \"src\" folder and the standard \"JRE S

Answer 1

Just create a folder Files under src and put your file there. This will look like src/Files/myFile.txt

Note: In your code you need to specify like this Files/myFile.txt e.g.

getResource("Files/myFile.txt");

So when you build your project and run the .jar file this should be able to work.
