I have developed Java desktop application using Netbeans.
In my application, I used some properties files and I placed it under the Project folder so that I can access it by using code like that

 Properties props = new Properties();
 props.load(new FileInputStream("config.properties"));

But when I deploy and package my application to .jar file, I can’t find out where properties files are and my application can not read value from properties files.

How can I fix that bug, and where should I place my properties file and load it?

    Put it under /src/resources/, then use it like below.

    ResourceBundle props = ResourceBundle.getBundle("resources.config");

    NetBeans doesn’t include the files under your project directory. Further, you need to build the project, in order to let NetBeans put the properties file inside your /classes directory. Then you should be able to pick it up, by running your application or just a particular related Java class.

    Cheers.
