Question

i placed a file in my maven project under src/main/resources the files name is simply temp.txt.

When i try to open the file:

BufferedReader br = new          


        

Answer 1

Maven puts the files under /src/main/resouces/ into the default package of your classpath. Hence you can load through the classloader:

InputStream in = getClass().getResourcesAsStream("temp.txt")

For more information see Class#getResoucesAsStream.
