Can you give me an example?
The reason I chose to do it this way is basically I can change the
inputDirectory, outputdirectory and other values without making any changes in the code, hence using it anywhere becomes easy. In our company, we have a jar file which is included in the build path and then we access the config files like: Config configRoot = ConfigFactory.create(ConfigFactory.DEFAULT); and then using the Config object, go onto access the values in the .cfg files...but If i want to use this elsewhere, how would i do a similar thing?
As long as your jar file and the cfg file are under the same classpath, it shouldn't be any problem to read the value. That was my question.
