Answer 1

For a project structure like this:

project
|
| -> src
|    |
|    | -> directory
|    |    |
|    |    | -> MyClass.java
|    |    |
|    |    | -> file.txt

Use the below code to read the file in MyClass.java

import java.io.*;

class MyClass {

    public static void main(String... args) {

        try {

            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("src/directory/file.txt"));

            // read your file 

        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {

            e.printStackTrace();

        } catch (IOException e) {

            e.printStackTrace();

        } catch (Exception e) {

            e.printStackTrace();

        }

    }

}
