Get file from project folder java

Question

I want to get File from project folder by using \"File class\" , How I can Do that ?

File file=new File(\"x1.txt\");

Answer 1

This sounds like the file is embedded within your application.

You should be using getClass().getResource("/path/to/your/resource.txt"), which returns an URL or getClass().getResourceAsStream("/path/to/your/resource.txt");

If it's not an embedded resource, then you need to know the relative path from your application's execution context to where your file exists
