I see errors when I run the test code from ESAPI documentation.

    import org.owasp.esapi.ESAPI;

public class EsapiTest {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        System.out.println("ESAPI.accessController found: " 
                               + ESAPI.accessController());
    }
}

This is the error I get -

Loading ESAPI.properties via file I/O failed. Exception was: java.io.FileNotFoundException
    Attempting to load ESAPI.properties via the classpath.
    ESAPI.properties could not be loaded by any means. Fail. Exception was: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Failed to load ESAPI.properties as a classloader resource.

I have no clue what I am missing here. As suggested here - Trying to Use ESAPI But getting Error, I put the properties in org/owasp/esapi/resources, bundled it up, and put the jar in my classpath, but no luck. I also tried passing arguments in eclipse - -Dorg.owasp.esapi.resources="/Users/rick/Desktop/test/myworkspace" (this folder has the property files) The documentation is just so poor that I am completely lost. Please help what am I missing here? Any link that has all the steps to do the setup?
