How to add properties file into Java project?

Question

I am using .properties file for my project and Netbeans 6.9.1 IDE. How can I add my properties file into the code?

  String prop="c:\\Config.properties";
    Properties Config= new Properties();
   Config.load(new FileInputStream(prop));
   f1=Config.getProperty("f1");
   f2=Config.getProperty("f2");

How can I define my Build path instead of "c:\\Config.properties"?

Is there any way to add this file directly to the project?

Answer 1

You could put the config.properties into one of your packages and then define the path to your properties file relative.

 ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream ("your/app/package/config.properties");
