I have just created a .properties file in Java and got it to work.

I have just created a .properties file in Java and got it to work. The problem is where/how to store it. I’m currently developing a “Dynamic Web project” in Eclipse, and have stored the properties file under build/classes/myfile.properties, and I’m using this code to load it:

properties.load(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/myfile.properties"));

But won’t this folder get truncated when building the project, or not included when exporting as a WAR file? How can I add this file to the build path, so it will be added to /build/classes on every export (in eclipse)?

    If you add your .properties file into the source folder, it will get copied into the classes folder at build time. I usually create a separate “Source Folder” in my projects to hold .properties files and other non-Java source files.
