Accessing gradle resources from Java

Question

I have a gradle-based java project with this structure

.
├── myproject
│      ├── src
│      |    └── main
│      |         ├── java
│      |         └── resourc         


        

Answer 1

Well, it seems my difficulties came from another problem (resources not being copied to the proper places). Once I solved that problem, the ClassLoader was able to find my resources using either of these two forms:

ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResource("./myresource.xml");

ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResource("myresource.xml");

Edit: When using the jar embedded in other applications, the former solution do not work, use this in that case:

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("myresource.xml")
