If you want to read in a file in your classpath (without exactly knowing
where to find) you have to do following:
your.package.YourClass.class.getResourceAsStream("/yourconfig.cfg")
Note: The SLASH before configuration file name is important. Without it,
java won't search for this file into your classpath.
It will then only look if this file is in the same folder, where your
class lies:
YourClass.class.getResourceAsStream("yourconfig.cfg")
-->Config had to lie here /your/package/yourconfig.cfg
