java - Adding resources in IntelliJ for Maven project

Question

I have a project structure like this:

src
 |-main
    |-java
       |-com.abc.xyz
          |-Login.java

I have to add a resource file to this and read the resource with

InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("launchers.properties");

This is giving null.

In Intellij I am not able to add a new package under src/main for resources folder so that the project structure looks like this. How can I load the launchers.properties resource file into the project?

src
 |-main
    |-java
       |-com.abc.xyz
          |-Login.java
    |-resources
       |-com.abc.xyz
          |-Login
             |-launcher.properties

I tried the solution suggested by @maba but still not working

Answer 1

The launcher.properties should not be under a folder called Login. It should be placed directly in the src/main/resources/com/abc/xyz folder.

It is really as simple as I said but if the resources folder is not marked as a sources folder then this may be the problem.

This is the initial class and setup:

Now create the resources folder:

This newly created folder should be automatically marked as a sources folder and if it is blue color marked then it is. Otherwise you'll have to mark it manually:

Now you'll be able to add packages to it:

And now you can add the file to it:

And rerunning the application will not give you any null value back:

And the package view will surely show the launchers.properties file as well:
