Java - Getting file from same package

Question

If I want to read from \"Words.txt\" which is in the same package as the class, how would I do this? Doing simply Scanner = new Scanner(new File(\"Words.txt\"));

Answer 1

Scanner = new Scanner(new File("/path/to/Words.txt")); 

The argument in the File() constructor, Is the path relative to the system your VM is running on, it s doesn't depend on the classe's package.

If you your words.txt is a resource packaged with your war you can see here : Load resource from anywhere in classpath
