Java 9.0 | ClassLoader::getResourceAsStream: NullPointerException

Question

This piece of code down below, where I take my file from folder which is inside the \"/resource\" folder, works fine for me in Java 8:

//e.g fileName =         


        

Answer 1

In the module_info.java file, you have to open the files, for example, the package name, in which you have the files is "resources" and, if that package is inside another called "resources_module" the code will be:

exports resources_module;
opens resources;
opens resources.(the name of another folder inside the package);

And now you can access to that folder.

HOW TO ACCESS TO RESOURCES FROM ANOTHER CLASS

1. Inside the package "resources_module" create a empty class

2. From another class (including other modules), to get an InputStream you have to call the class you created before (the empty class) like this:

   (Your empty class).class.getResourceAsStream(path);
