Question

I want to read a bunch of text files in com.example.resources package. I can read a single file using the following code:

InputStream is = MyObject.class.getResourceAsStream("resources/file1.txt")
InputStreamReader sReader = new InputStreamReader(is);
BefferedReader bReader = new BufferedReader(sReader);
...

Is there a way to get the listing of file and then pass each element to getResourceAsStream?

EDIT:
On ramsinb suggestion I changed my code as follow:

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(MyObject.class.getResourceAsStream("resources")));
String fileName;
while((fileName = br.readLine()) != null){ 
   // access fileName 
}

If you pass in a directory to the getResourceAsStream method then it will return a listing of files in the directory ( or at least a stream of it).

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(...)

I purposely used the Thread to get the resource because it will ensure I get the parent class loader. This is important in a Java EE environment however probably not too much for your case.
