Answer 1

You can't (by default) access src/test/resources resources from code within src/main/java . All src/test/resources resources are only available for tests usually stored in src/test/java and executed during test phase (in Maven). During that phase, test code can access that resources by some (not all) of the methods you quoted in your question.

For your main classes, the resources root is src/main/resources . You should store your JSON schema file there. Test code can also access resources stored there (so no duplication needed), but not vice versa.

Answer 2

When getting resources, the resources folder is the root. If the file is in a subfolder, you need to include it in your path. Use

in = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/ds/test.json");
