java classloader 路径,如何使用Java ClassLoader从类路径加载文件？

I want to use the ClassLoader to load a properties file for the Properties class. I've simplified the below code to remove error handling for the purposes of this discussion:

loader = this.getClass().getClassLoader();

in = loader.getResourceAsStream("theta.properties");

result = new Properties();

result.load(in);

In the same directory as this class I have the file "theta.properties" but the InputStream is always null. Am I putting the file in the wrong place? I'm using eclipse and its set to build the class files to the source folder - so that shouldn't be the problem.

I can't find anything in the JavaDoc to get the ClassLoader to tell me what classpath is being searched.

By using getClass().getClassloader() you look for "theta.properties" from the root path directory. Just use getClass().getResourceAsStream() to get a resource relative to that class.
