I created a project in IDEA. I have resources: images (png) and text files (txt). In the program I work with pictures so

URL url = MyClass.class.getResource(shortName); ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(url);

Everything works well. But if I try to get the URL for a text file resource in the same way, it will be equal to Null . It turned out that the program takes resources from a directory with classes (class files) and for some reason there when compiling files with the png extension are copied, and text files are not. How to fix?

    Refer to them in the bin folder and put all resources in the resource folder, and instead of simple compilation, better create a simple ant-script that will collect the jar-archive and run it.

    Folder structure:

     Project | |--ant | | | -- build.xml |--bin |--lib ---src

    build.xml:

     <project default="main" basedir=".."> <tstamp> <format property="now" pattern="dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss" /> </tstamp> <target name="main" depends="compile"> <checksum totalproperty="version_md5"> <fileset dir="bin" /> </checksum> <antcall target="makeJar"><param name="jarName" value="executableJAR"/></antcall> </target> <target name="compile"> <javac srcdir="src" destdir="bin" classpath="."> <classpath> <fileset dir="lib"> <include name="**/*.jar"/> </fileset> </classpath> </javac> </target> <target name="makeJar"> <jar basedir="bin" destfile="jars/context_${jarName}.jar" encoding="utf8"> <include name="**/*.class" /> <manifest> <attribute name="Bundle-Version" value="${version_md5}" /> <attribute name="Class-Path" value="lib/SOME_LIB.jar"/> <attribute name="Main-Class" value="package.${jarName}"/> </manifest> </jar> </target> </project>
