Yeah they are config files, I just wanted a simple way to reference them in my code, i.e:
ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); InputStream is = classLoader.getResourceAsStream("config.properties"); I think what I should do is reference the file based on an environmental variable, which I will set both locally and on the production server. Plus having an EV let's other projects reference things in a more uniform way. you agree?
