I want the .txt file to lie next to the source files of the program. What is the universal path to the readable file?

Question

Java

How to specify a generic path? the source files are in the scr directory and the file should be there. txt, but for example the folder will not be scr, but rcs.
You just can't get off with words, the names of directories can change, and the conditions for storing the file. txt with executables is not. What to do?

Answer 1

txt file is probably a resource, and therefore should not lie along with the source code. Treating files as resources will allow you to get the flexibility you want and not bother with paths.
