loading .properites from jar

[kem1]

hi,

i have my.jar with the following structure:

my.jar
|
com
-my.properties

i.e. the properties file is on the top level in the jar. how can
access and load it from com.MyClass. When I run the com.myclass from
within the Eclispse IDE, all is fine. There, the resource file is on
on the same level as the com package (top level) and I access it with
../my.properties. Any help how to make it work from the console - I
have a small run.sh file that needs to to look something like

java -classpath "external.jar:my.jar" com.myClass

It says FileNotFoundException when I try ./my.properties or just
my.properties. I realise that executor is looking for the files on the
file system, not within the jar.


Thanks,

k

Try putting this inside your com package and then access it as
/com/my.properties from within a jar
