Depending on your Java class package name, you're probably 4 or 5 levels down the directory structure.

If your Java class package is, for example, com.stackoverflow.project, then your class is located at src/com/stackoverflow/project.

You can either move up the directory structure with multiple ../, or you can move the text file to the same package as your class. It would be easier to move the text file.
