I have looked in numerous places for the answer to this question and yet to find something that works. I have a project in eclipse set up like so (I hope you can understand it):

(Project)
src/package1/class1.cs
src/package2/class2.cs
JRE_SYSTEM_FILES/
res/font.ttf

So inside of the "res" folder, I have a font.ttf. I understand how to add the font to my program and use it using Font.createFont(), but What I cant understand is how to get the file path. Everything I find assumes I have the path already which I don't. If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated, and please If my formatting gets in the way of understanding the question please tell me.

  1. use relative paths, run from the same place every time

  2. put font to the same folder where your class (that requires it) is, and call getClass().getResource("font.ttf");.

  • Okay, I'll do that, but in more in-depth programs where single resources are used multiple times, how would I acccesss a resource in a folder outside of the source folder? – matt murray Dec 17 '13 at 17:37
  • You don't need to keep resources in 'src' folder. You only need to know relation between class file that needs font and font location. Say, you have font.ttf in classes/fonts and class that needs it in classes/package1. Then, call `getResource("../fonts/font.ttf")`. – Sergey Fedorov Dec 17 '13 at 17:46
