Tuesday June 10, 2008 Accessing a Java resource as a file
Here is some quick and dirty code to get access to a resource on the class path as a File object:
URL url = this.getClass().getResource("/the-file.txt");
URI uri = new URI(url.toExternalForm());
File f = new File(uri);
Obviously replace "/the-file.txt" with the actual path to the resource. Note: this is the path on the "class path", not the file system.
