file - How can I indicate the path of a package in a String in Java? -

new fileinputstream("c:\\users\\adam\\documents\\netbeansprojects\\tictactoe_3.0 beta\\src\\resources\\system shock 2 soundtrack med sci 1.mp3");  bufferedimage bf = imageio.read(new file("c:\\users\\adam\\documents\\netbeansprojects\\tictactoe_3.0 beta\\src\\images\\black-squaremod.jpg")); 

the 2 lines of code above taking kind of resource given paths. change them reference package within same netbeans project, contains same resources.

for example,

fileinputstream();

... getting audio file.

the

bufferedimage bf = imageio.read(new file());

... getting .jpg image.

these 2 files in package called 'resources' in same netbeans project. how change specified paths go directly packages, instead of going through hard disk?

thanks.

the class.getresource() , class.getresourceasstream() methods relative class location. intended purpose.

from javadoc

finds resource given name. rules searching resources associated given class implemented defining class loader of class.  method delegates object's class loader. if object loaded  bootstrap class  loader, method delegates classloader.getsystemresource(java.lang.string).  before delegation, absolute resource name constructed given resource name using algorithm:  if name begins '/' ('\u002f'), absolute name of resource  portion of name following '/'.  otherwise, absolute name of following form: modified_package_name/name modified_package_name package name of  object '/' substituted '.' ('\u002e'). 

a sample program acquire url file in src/resources/test.properties if exists.

public class testgetresource {      public testgetresource(){         object resource = this.getclass().getresource("/test.properties");         system.out.println(resource);     }      public static void main(string args[]){         new testgetresource();     } } 

to debug try this

object resource = this.getclass().getresource("/"); 

this should return binary path project. have in there netbeans should copy resources in there when makes project if doesn't null.

your directory structure should be

src/main/java
src/main/resources
