Java Eclipse - The system cannot find the file specified ( java.io.FileNotFoundException )

Question

In my code, I would like to read input from a file, and I am getting an exception.

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: TestValues.csv (The system cannot find the file specified)

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: (The system cannot find the file specified)

Project Hierarchy in Eclipse :

Project folder
     src
          Package Folder
               FileName.java
     JRE System Library
     Data
          TestValues.txt

How to solve this problem ?

How to find file path, in java while using eclipse?

How to find relative file path, instead of using long absolute path name ?

Answer 1

After seeing the question several times, and still struggling, I wanted to share the approach I followed to solve the problem.

package javacertification;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public class FindFileName {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

    FindFileName ffn = new FindFileName();
    ffn.printFilePath();
}

public void printFilePath(){

    // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/681059/read-from-file-in-eclipse
    System.out.println("1. Throws Exception as file does not Exists, Dummy File Name, to find the path");
    File file = new File("TestValues.txt");
    System.out.println("\t" + "Path : " + file.getAbsolutePath());
    System.out.println("");
    System.out.println("2. File will be read, as file Exists, under the Data folder, and path is correct");
    file = new File("Data\\TestValues.txt");
    System.out.println("\t"+ "Path : " + file.getAbsolutePath());

    }
}

Output:

1. Throws Exception as file does not Exists, Dummy File Name, to find the path Path : C:\WorkSpace\CodeWorkSpace\OCJD\JavaCertification\TestValues.txt

2. File will be read, as file Exists, under the Data folder, and path is correct Path : C:\WorkSpace\CodeWorkSpace\OCJD\JavaCertification\Data\TestValues.txt
