Error finding a resource

Question

HI all,
i meet a problem in running a J2ME dictionary in NetBeans 6.0 IDE. The error only shows on WTK(emulator).
The error is: java.io.IOException: Error finding a resource /lang.txt
i have already included the lang.txt file into the same folder. May i know how to use getResourceAsStream()?
Is it correct to be written in this way?
public static void readMenu() throws IOException {
final int index = AppSettings.getSettings().getCurrentLangIndex();
final InputStreamReader isr = DataAccess.getResourceAsStream('/' + langList[index] + "English-Menu.txt");
What about this one?
public static void initLangList() throws IOException {
final InputStreamReader isr = DataAccess.getResourceAsStream("/lang.txt");
final Vector stringList = new Vector();
String lang;
while ( (lang = DataAccess.readString(isr)) != null) {
//at least one language assumed
stringList.addElement(lang);
langList = new String[stringList.size()];
stringList.copyInto(langList);
And also this one:
public static InputStreamReader getResourceAsStream(final String resPath)
throws IOException {
final InputStream is = (new Object()).getClass().getResourceAsStream("/lang.txt");
if (is != null) {
is.skip(BOM_LENGTH);// skip 3 bytes UTF-8 Byte Order Mark
return new InputStreamReader(is, DICT_CHARSET);
throw new IOException("Error finding a resource " + resPath);
Please advise and help me to solve these errors. Thank you very much

Any ideas, short of replacement
If your HDD is not showing up in FW-TDM or Disk Utility it is hardly likely to be worth erasing and re-using. Even if you were able to do so, whatever you have on the HDD will be at risk as your HDD may fail at any time. Modern HDDs have an average life of 3-5 years, with a significant amount failing in the first year. In other words, if your HDD is the one that originally came with the computer, it is likely not worth messing with it.
If you really want to try, you can try booting from the Disk Warrior CD and running DW. It may be able to repair the directory sufficient for you to erase and reformat, although I doubt it would be of much help.
Since you already have your data backed up, I suggest that you purchase a new HDD and install it yourself. You can doso for less than $100 and get a faster and larger HDD at the same time. If you are interested in this option, please post back for information about available HDDs and directions on tips for installation.

I have a couple of these and love them very well. In addition you can take at look at these at OWC.
