I have a project in eclipse where all my source code is under mbl/src. I am exporting this code as a runnable jar. I have got another folder under mbl/files which contains some of the properties files.I want to export these files also but eclipse doesnt give any such option. I have put the mbl/files under add class folder in build path options but still I am facing similar issues. I have also put the files folder directly under src folder but still it is not able to access it.I am using following options in commandline.
java -jar myprogram.jar arg1
It gives this error:
Unable to find files/text1.properties
text1.properties is under mbl/files/text1.properties
and is referred in the following manner from main class:
FileInputStream fs=new FileInputStream("files\\text1.properties");
