Hi Rick. The classpath is often used as a way to find property files, using something like:
getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream( propertyFileName ) This will search the classpath for a non-class resource such as a property file and open it for reading. This is quite a common trick to avoid hard-coding platform-specific file paths.
