I am using java -classpath $CLASSPATH ..., where $CLASSPATH has been set to /file1path/file1:/file2path/file2 and so on. Despite this, Java complains that file1 is not found. I tried to set -Dfile1=file:///fullpath/file1, but it still says it cannot find the file. Is there any reason why this might happen other than that I am not seeing a simpler problem like a typo or something (which I have checked for many times)?

More specifically, this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(configurationFileName) is returning null.

The file that is not being found is a configuration file (.properties), not a JAR file.

    You set a classpath to point to a directory containing something or an archive containing resources. I don’t believe you can add a resource directly to the classpath.

    Try setting your classpath to /file1path instead of /file1path/file1
