I originally had my .mid file in the project directory and I had got it like this:
File file = new File("hmr.mid");
It all worked fine, then I tried to export it to a runnable .jar, because than I had NullPointerException when I tried to access the file later.
I have read that I should add the resource to the package, so I did this:

Since than, I have did a ton of googling, SOF search, looked at a ton of examples (and I think most of people are getting it wrong, e.g. use absolute path), read articles like this:
but nothing ever worked. I get a NullPointerException just when I export to .jar, but even when I simply run it.
Here is my resource loader with some residue of my attempts. It works fine with images.
import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.URL;
public class ResourceLoader {
static ResourceLoader rl = new ResourceLoader();
public static Image getImage(String filename)
{
return Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(rl.getClass().getResource(filename));
}
public static File getFile(String filename)
{
//InputStream is = rl.getClass().getResourceAsStream("hmr.mid");
//URL url = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("hmr.mid");
//File file = new File(url.toString());
//url = File.class.getClassLoader().getResource("/Users/peti/Documents/workspace/java_workspace/BluesBox_v0_21/200_Stlye/resources/hmr.mid");
//File file = new File(url.getFile());
//File file = new File("/Users/peti/Documents/workspace/java_workspace/BluesBox_v0_21/200_Stlye/resources/hmr.mid");
//File file = new File("src/200_Stlye/resources/hmr.mid");
File file = new File("hmr.mid");
return file;
}
}
