java - How to reference an xml file from resources? Eclipse -

i'm parsing in xml file using sax , need add resource instead of hard coding file path.

i set file path y using string this:

private static final string game_file = "game.xml"; 

its been suggested use getresourceasstream i'm not sure how apply solution.

does how reference file resources instead within project?

this how reference xml file adding root of project, bad practice:

public class parser extends defaulthandler{     private static final string game_file = "game.xml";      //you should have boolean switch each xml element, not attribute     boolean location = false;     boolean description = false;     boolean item = false;     boolean gamecharacter = false;     boolean searchalgorithm = false;      //read in xml file game.xml , use current object sax event handler     public void parse() throws parserconfigurationexception, saxexception, ioexception{         xmlreader xmlreader = null;         saxparserfactory spfactory = saxparserfactory.newinstance();         spfactory.setvalidating(false);         saxparser saxparser = spfactory.newsaxparser();         xmlreader = saxparser.getxmlreader();         xmlreader.setcontenthandler(this);         inputsource source = new inputsource(game_file);         xmlreader.parse(source);         xmlreader.seterrorhandler(this);     } 

below shows project structure after adding file resources folder, adding resources folder, causes file not found.

the problem game.xml technically in "resources" packages. using

game_file = "/resources/game.xml" inputsource source = new inputsource(getclass().getresourceasstream(game_file));  

should trick
