java - How to access file inside JAR file as a string -

i packaged classes , libraries single jar file. current code cannot access files inside jar file is.

string scenariofile = "netlogo/altruism.nlogo"; // inputstream = this.getclass().getresourceasstream(scenariofile); simulator = headlessworkspace.newinstance(); simulator.open(scenariofile); 

the .open expects string read need use inputstream format not working. there other workaround?

with of tunaki able way doing , worked!

what did download commons.io.jar file

import org.apache.commons.io.*; 

and use inputstream read file , convert string , use openfromsource method tunaki suggested of headlessworkspace package read it.

inputstream = this.getclass().getresourceasstream(netlogofile);             string scenariofile = ioutils.tostring(is, "utf-8");       simulator = headlessworkspace.newinstance();       simulator.openfromsource(scenariofile);
