I have the following project structure:
ProjectName/src/java/com/main/Main.java
And I have a properties file in the following folder:
ProjectName/config/settings.properties
Now I tried to load the properties file in the Main.java with:
InputStream input = Main.class.getResourceAsStream("/config/settings.properties");
Properties prop = System.getProperties();
prop.load(input);
But this does not work. How is it the right way to do it?
Edit: I got the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.util.Properties$LineReader.readLine(Unknown Source)
at java.util.Properties.load0(Unknown Source)
at java.util.Properties.load(Unknown Source)
1) This directory [config] must be put into the "build path". Right-click the directory in the Package Explorer or Project Explorer view, select "Build Path", then "Use as Source Folder". Note: This build path will be the class path for the project, when you run it.
2) As the config directory now is part of your class path and contains your properties file, you can simply load it with InputStream input = Server.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("settings.properties");
This works well for eclipse but not yet for a jar. I think I also have to add the build path somehow to the ant script.
How can I do that?
Edit3: If I take the settings.properties out of the config folder in the jar, then it works. Why? I want it in the config folder in the jar too.

Use following :
InputStream input = Main.class.getResourceAsStream("../../../../config/settings.properties");
Properties prop = System.getProperties();
prop.load(input);
By adding ../ I am getting 1 step backward in your filesystem. In your code you were using /config....., which means C:/config..... (if it is in C drive).
The following will also work in your case. (but not in zipped file)
InputStream input = new FileInputStream("config/settings.properties");
Properties prop = System.getProperties();
prop.load(input);
