如何独立于Java项目的路径打开文件？

Question

I'm working with Eclipse and there, I have Java Project with the name "Test" which also contains text files. A class in this Project should be able to read in one of these files with a BufferedReader. This is my current code for that:

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("C:/Users/workspace/Test/testFile.txt"));

My file is always in the Project, but when I move the Project to another path, the file path changes, too, so I have to adjust the code with the new path. I dont't want that, because it's impractical, so what can I do? How can I get the path of the Project?

Answer 1

You can add file to resources folder and read like

ClassLoader classLoader = getClass().getClassLoader();
File file = new File(classLoader.getResource("file/test.xml").getFile());

Answer 2

Try something like this:

File currentDirFile = new File(".");
String fileDir = currentDirFile.getAbsolutePath();
