Accessing files

So in my plugin I'm making I need to parse a schematic file (which I've done) but to get to that file I don't want to have it generate a folder on start-up in which i manually put the schematic in. How would I (if possible) put a schematic file in my source folder then access it in the code? Basicly how would I locate a .schematic file from the source folder.

 

Code:java

 
File f = new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), "YourFile.xxx" /*Config would be "config.yml"*/);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));
String line;
while((line=br.readLine()) != null) {
/** Handle the Filelines here**/
System.out.println("Read line: " + line);
}
br.close();

I believe he means from inside the jar, not from the /plugins/<Name> folder

I'm pretty sure JavaPlugin.getResource("your_schematic.schematic") is what you're looking for.

 

Then he has to replace the line:

Code:java

 
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader( new FileReader(f));
 

with

Code:java

 
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader(plugin.getResource("Your/Resurce.txt")));

Are you... Making a reader of the plugin?

Edit: nvm, couldn't read the white text.

i formated the text better now^^

 

Thanks CoderCloud macguy8

But I have one question, by handle filelines do you mean my code that parses the schematics??

Code:java

/** Handle the Filelines here**/

Pretty much, the code will get to that point every line in your code. Eg...
This
Is
A
Test
Would call that code once for each LINE in the file, either add it to an array list, or do whatever you need to do there (I have no clue how schematic parsing works)

 

macguy8 all im asking is if i put that code on the line not how do i code it

 

In the case of reading shcematics, you wouldn't read it line by line. I haven't checked if this compiles or not, but something like it should work:

Code:

 
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(plugin.getResource("Schematicfile.schematic");
 
//use your NBT library to read the root compound tag of the schematic file
 
br.close();
