title: How to load properties from resources folder?
body: <p>I've been able to get the following to work by loading a properties file which exists in the same folder as the class files (the bin folder)</p>
  
  <pre><code>InputStream inputStream = getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("config.properties");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to load the config.properties file from a resources folder which is at the same level as the bin folder. If I pass it "resources/config.properties" it finds the file in /bin/resources, but passing it "/resources/config.properties does not look above the bin folder like I want.  </p>
  
  <p>Ideas?</p>
