How to load properties inner Jdeveloper

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to load properties from some file using something like this
"final URL in = this.getClass().getResource("/jfreereport.resources");"
But this allways returns me null, so this Mean that my properties file was not loaded, I tried add this file to my classpath (throught project properties), and when I run my classpath has the file but my application is not capable to locate my properties, why??
How is the exactly procedure to load this properties files??
Thanks in advanc

Try something like:
  Properties props = new Properties();
  try
    InputStream in = ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("/jfreereport.resources");
    props.load(in);
    in.close();
  catch(Exception ex)
     //do something
  }
