Question

How can I read a file from a relative path?

I´ve tried this, but without success:

package es;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;

public class Principal {

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        File file = new File("/prueba/src/es/myFile.txt");
        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
    }

}

And my project is as simple as:

The error I obtained is:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: \prueba\src\es\myFile.txt (El sistema no puede encontrar la ruta especificada)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
    at es.Principal.main(Principal.java:13)

Thanks.

I found the problem:

The relative path should be:

File file = new File("src/es/myFile.txt");
