Adding files in classpath The classpath of an application generally contains following locations: Projects root directory srcmainresources Any location whose files are copied to classes folder after project build runs.

If the file is present inside a jar file, add the jar file in the projects lib folder or add the jar in projects classpath.

The important thing to validate is that the file is copied into final build output of the project i.e.

We have to get the reference of system classloader for the class which is trying to read the file.

This classloader obviously knows the other paths for the application.

Once we have the File reference, we can use a number of ways to read the file.

In this case actual file is present in location bincomhowtodoinjavaiodemo.txt.

Drop me your questions related to reading a file from the classpath in Java.
