Classpath issue from standalone app

[laredotornado]

Hi,

I'm using Java 1.6 and am writing a stand alone java app. I have a
file on my system ...

/Users/davea/projects/app/app/ant/build.properties

I included the parent directory of this file, "/Users/davea/projects/
app/app", in my classpath that I pass to the java command that runs a
stand alone app. However, I'm not able to load the build.properties
file from my app using

InputStream
stream=this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("build.properties");

The "stream" field is null. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong and why
I'm not able to access this file? Thanks, - Dave

I am working with a program (not my own) that does pretty much the same
thing. I add the directory itself to the classpath, not the parent of
the directory. Try that.

If you include /Users/davea/projects/app/app in your classpath, path of the
build.properties is "/ant/build.properties" and not "build.properties".

Try instead:
InputStream
stream=this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/ant/build.properties");
