Resouce files [message #19047]

I am trying to load a resource file thus:

InputStream in = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("test.xml");

I have tried putting the file in the project root and I have tried putting
it in the res folder. It never seems to get packed in the jar. My in is
always null. What do I need to do?

Files from the res directory should be copied directly into the jar file
in the deployed directory. Try deleting this directory and see if the
file is in the newly created jar.

When creating the jar (in the wizard) you may select which folders/files
to pack in besides the class files.

But, er... I don't see that option.

On the MTJ menu, the option "Build MTJ Project" does not offer any
options... yet the documentation specifies that the resources from the res
folder will be included in the Jar.

It doesn't work (at least for version 0.70) when attempting to use it for
S80 Peronal Profile development. Indeed, the project only includes the
classes.zip file.... in the J2ME Library; I had to attach the standard S80
device libraries manually (e.g., locale.jar, etc.)

We have to be careful, even though MTJ's page identifies MTJ1 and MTJ2,
the official version is 0.70... even the numbering doesn't seem to be
consistent with other Eclipse.org projects...

Looks like it will be AT LEAST 2Q 2008 before this tool is (minimally)
dependable.

Aha! I just caught it... you are speaking of ignoring the MTJ/Build MTJ
Project (which doesn't seem to work) and using the standard Eclipse JAR
Export wizard... Yes, this does work... and it's nicer because one can
create the JARDESC file for repeatability...
