How can I add properties file into eclipse classpath ?

[Jack2011]

Hi,

I am using a code from an open source project. This code is not well documented.

There is a classpath problem but i am new in eclipse.

This is the code :

static {
InputStream input = null;
try {
input = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().get ResourceAsStream("cmet-file.properties");
_config.load(input);
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.err.println("Could not load properties. Be sure it's in classpath. " + ex.getMessage());


This is the error "Could not load properties. Be sure it's in classpath"

How can I add this file in the classpath ?


I have attempted the following :

1. Go to Java build path of the project
2. Go to libraries tab
3. Add external class folder
4 . Choose the folder containing the properties file
5. The problem is still there.


How can I fix this problem ?


Thanks

Hi Where is cmet-file.properties in your project?

[Jack2011]

Hi, it is in a build folder on the root of the project.

But It must be in a src folder. Like this
/project/
/project/src/
/project/src/*.properties

Thanks but I added into /project/src/.
It did not change anything.
