Answer 1

You should get the resource through an InputStream and not a File, but there is no need for external libraries.

All you need is a couple of lines of code:

InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/elasticsearch/segmentsIndex.json");
java.util.Scanner scanner = new java.util.Scanner(is).useDelimiter("\\A");
String json = scanner.hasNext() ? scanner.next() : "";
