title: Using properties file in osgi bundle
body: <p>I have created a simple OSGi bundle for my CQ5 application. I want to read certain properties from a properties file (regular key-value file)</p>
  
  <p>I have tried to put the file in the /resources folder  of the bundle and outside also (in /etc/designs/) but the file always fails to load and throws exception as below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>java.io.FileNotFoundException: \path\to\the\file\filename.properties 
  (The system cannot find the path specified)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to keep the file outside the bundle so that it can be edited without altering the bundle</p>
