Intellij - how do I add a text file to the resources

I am reading a *.properties file using properties.load and a file name.

I want to add the properties file to the jar or to the classpath.

1. How do add a file to the jar?
2. How do I read from开发者_如何学编程 the jar?

Place the file in the source folder, it will be copied to the output and added to the jar together with the classes according to Settings | Compiler | Resource Patterns.

To load the file in your app use something like:

Properties props = new Properties();
InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/file.properties");
props.load(is);
