title: File in executable jar cannot be found when running on AWS EC2
body: <p>I have a .jar file executing on a aws ec2 instance which contains the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>List&lt;String&gt; lines = FileUtils.readLines(new File("googlebooks-eng-all-1gram-20120701-k"));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the file exists in projectname/res and also in /projectname directly. I included /res in the build path. Also I see that the file exists inside the jar file at the root if I export the .java file in eclipse.
  If I run the jar localy on my pc it works fine. But if I run it on a ec2 instance it says:</p>
  
  <pre><code>java.io.FileNotFoundException: File 'googlebooks-eng-all-1gram-20120701-k' does not exist
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can that be?</p>
