[forge-users] Using template files from Jar

[George Gastaldi]

Hi Jerome,

Add your resources in the same folder structure as the Java class that 
will consume it and use getClass().getResource() to retrieve a URL 
instance out of it:

URL url = getClass().getResource("voila.txt");
Resource<?> resource = resourceFactory.create(url);

Tip: Using FileResource directly in your addon is a bad practice, as it 
relies on the physical file. The best would be to use Resource<?>.
This makes your code unaware of the resource location.

Best Regards,

George Gastaldi
