It's actually a very similar problem, conceptually. The
getResourceAsStream() method is the proper way to access your configuration
file. You just need to be more explicit about the location of the file:
// Look for a file in the package "this" belongs to.
this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("myproject.properties");
// Look for a file in the package com.foo.myproject.
this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/com/foo/myproject/myproject.properties");
See the
JavaDocs<http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html#getResourceAsStream(java.lang.String)>
for
more details.
