   |        |----MANIFEST.MFI want: when I execute the jar file java -jar file.jar from the java class MyClass to read the file.txt
When I run this the error is:

thanks you!!
I have read the file, but I have put the package when I write the file.txt, beacuse If I don't put this, givas me NullPointerException
Now I have
InputStream in = Main.class.getResourceAsStream("/pack/file.txt");
InputStreamReader isr = null;
BufferedReader reader = null;
try {
          isr = new InputStreamReader(in, "ISO-8859-1");
          reader = new BufferedReader(isr);
          while ((j = reader.readLine())!=null){
               version = j;
          reader.close();
} catch ...Thanks very much
