Properties file not found

[johnharris85]

I'm following an online tutorial (MySQL Java tutorial) and I've just created a properties file to manage my mysql credentials. When I try to run the code below I can't a FileNotFoundException on "database.properties". It's located in my src folder so I don't know where the problem is? I'm using Eclipse IDE if that's relevant.

Thanks.

public class MySqlTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        Connection con = null;

        try {

            con = getConnection();
            Statement st = con.createStatement();
            ResultSet result = st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM Authors");

            while (result.next()) {
                System.out.print(result.getInt(1));
                System.out.print(": ");
                System.out.println(result.getString(2));
            }

            con.close();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
        }
    }

    public static Connection getConnection() throws FileNotFoundException,
            IOException, SQLException {

        Properties props = new Properties();
        FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream("database.properties");
        props.load(in);
        in.close();

        String url = props.getProperty("db.url");
        String user = props.getProperty("db.user");
        String passwd = props.getProperty("db.passwd");

        return DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, passwd);
    }
}

To find where the current directory is create a File("dummy.txt") object and print out its absolute path.
Compare the path that prints out with where the file you want to read is located.
