Load a file that's been bundled within the .jar?

I'm building a project with ant and during the build I'd like to bundle a number of property/config files directl开发者_JAVA百科y into the .jar to make distribution simpler. I've been successful in adding these files to the .jar, but I'm unable to load them in my program.

What is the procedure to open/read a file that's been bundled into a .jar file?

Use the getResourceAsStream method on class:

Properties p = new Properties();
p.load(MyClass.class.getResourceAsStream("/myprops.properties"));

You can load those by using the ClassLoader getResourceAsStream() method.
