Including a file [message #519893]

I have a file with properties. When i put the file in the eclipse project under bin/packagename everything works fine. I read the file with

getClass().getResourceAsStream("[filename]");

When i export the project in a runnable jar the file is not inluded. What do i do wrong?

Hi,

You may want to place the file in your source folder instead. Eclipse
should copy it to bin automatically, but more importantly, it should
also find it when creating a jar file.

Cheers,

Steffen
