Accessing Jar resource issue (in Junit test)

Question

Hi,
I have a package called my.test.example containing one class called Example1.class and a property file called MyProp.properties. I am trying to load the content of MyProp.properties with the following:
static {
    Properties Configuration = new Properties();
    try {
       URL url = Example1.class.getResource("/MyProp.properties");
       Configuration.load(url.openStream());
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        LOG.severe("Cannot load MyProp.properties :\n" + ex.toString());
}The url is systematically null. I have tried including the package name, to use '/' instead of '.', but it does not work. How should I proceed? I am looking for a solution that works wherever the .jar is installed. Is this possible?
Thanks.
P.S.: I am working under Vista and the static code is invoked in a Junit test. I don't know whether this has an impact on the issue (but I don't think so).

Answer 1

OK. Solved the issue with:
Configuration.load(Example1.class.getResourceAsStream("MyProp.properties"));I had to solve another 'hidden' bug in the code.
