Eclipse Java File FileInputStream vs Input Stream when loading font file [duplicate]

Answer 1

Although @peeskillet provided very concise answer, if anyone wants to do additional reading, also very good explanation could be found here:

Loading Java Files

I am mentioning this because it seems there is a lot of questions & confusion (including my own) about proper way to load a file in Java using different methods.

So in the end both methods work:

// This works both within Eclipse project and in runnable JAR
        InputStream fis = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/examples/resources/verdana.ttf");

or

// This works both within Eclipse project and in runnable JAR
            InputStream fis = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("examples/resources/verdana.ttf");
