Question

Created small Java application using Netbeans IDE.
In package cntp is my source file from which i load neural network:

NeuralNetwork myNeuralNetwork = NeuralNetwork.load("src\\nwork\\nfile.nnet");

This static method has 2 overloads:

public static NeuralNetwork load(String filePath);
public static NeuralNetwork load(InputStream inputStream);


I placed file nfile.nnet in nwork package.

Everything works when i run application from Netbeans but when i copy the content of “dist”
folder somewhere else and execute jar it doesn’t find the dependent nfile.nnet.
So i need the way to make my application path portable. How to achieve this?

Solution thx to @RC and @Aaron Digulla from referenced post:
InputStream is=ClassLoader.class.getResourceAsStream("/nwork/nfile.nnet");
NeuralNetwork myNeuralNetwork = NeuralNetwork.load(is);

You can use resources. see Getting the inputstream from a classpath resource (XML file)
