Question

I put a file inside my Java project file and i want to read it but how can i find the path name with Java.

Here i put it in C driver but i just want to find path by just writing the name of file. Is there a function for it?

   FileInputStream fstream1 = new FileInputStream("C:/en-GB.dic");

Answer 1

If the file is inside the jar file generated for your project (or in the classpath used by your project, generally), under the package com.foo.bar, you can load it using

SomeClassOfYourProject.class.getResourceAsStream("/com/foo/bar/en-GB.dic");

If it’s not in the classpath, and you launch the application (using java.exe) from the directory c:\baz, and the file is under c:\baz\boom\, the you can load it using

new FileInputStream("boom/en-GB.dic");
