How to add resource file to JAR in IntelliJ

Question

I am using IntelliJ IDEA 14 and I want to add file outside of src to the JAR file. This is my current project structure.

I want to add layout.txt and saveddata.txt to the JAR file executable. I've been googling on that for a while can't find the solution

In case you need to see my code. This is how I am reading file

private Path layoutPath = Paths.get("resources/layout.txt");
content = new String(Files.readAllBytes(layoutPath));

Here is my project structure

Answer 1

1. Create a folder called "resources" at the same level as "src"
2. Right click the folder, select "Mark Directory As -> Resources Root"
